USSD & offline

The whole wallet on any phone.

The full wallet runs over USSD — send, withdraw, pay bill, buy goods, airtime, balance and statements — PIN-gated and settling on the same ledger as the apps.

In depth

USSD is how you reach the customer with a feature phone and no data — still a large share of most markets. The whole wallet runs over a dial-code: send, withdraw, Pay Bill, Buy Goods, buy airtime, check balance and pull a mini-statement, every step PIN-gated and confirmed before it posts.

It settles on the same ledger as the apps, so a USSD send and an app send are the same transaction with the same limits and audit — the channels can't drift. The telco or aggregator simply posts to one endpoint; the menu engine handles the rest, multilingual. No customer is left out because they don't own a smartphone or can't afford data.

Why it matters

Built to be trusted.

  • Reaches customers with no smartphone and no data.
  • Same balanced ledger and limits as the apps.
  • Multilingual menus, published on a dial-code shortcode.

How it works in practice.

Switch between the journeys this capability handles. Each one checks balance and limits, then waits for PIN or biometric authorisation before posting balanced entries to the ledger.
