Novatti's Mobile Money solution is an award winning, state of the art, mobile financial software.
The Novatti Payments System (NPS) is a high capacity transaction switching and account management system that can be integrated with a broad range of external systems including Banks, ATM’s, EFTPOS terminals, mobile phones, web portals, Point of Sale systems, prepaid and postpaid billing systems, and telecommunications infrastructure.
The system can mediate between external accounts (e.g. bank account, biller system or prepaid phone account) and can be configured with internal accounts that can be used to transact virtual value with other internal or external accounts. Settlement with external agencies is achieved real time, or by regular production of electronic banking files containing all settlement and reconciliation details.
The solution provides a secure, reliable and scalable method to deliver a digital wallet system where end-users use digital wallets to transact with each other as well as execute e-commerce transactions with integrated third party systems. The digital wallets can be configured for monetary use, or another unitised entity such as loyalty points.
Mobile Money - Key Facts
1. The Mobile Money Service Provider must hold the customers’ money in trust in commercial banks, which are, in turn, prudentially regulated. Mobile Money is generally counted as part of the M1 supply.
2. Mobile Money cannot create funds outside the financial system. All monies deposited in Mobile Money accounts must be backed by real funds in a commercial bank.
3. Each Mobile Money transaction can be traced and tracked through its life cycle for AML/CTF purposes.
4. Mobile Money merchants and cash-in/out agents invest their own working capital into their operations. They pre-buy Mobile Money so they can then sell it for cash to customers who want a cash-in transaction. For cash-out operations, they sell their cash and are paid in Mobile Money.
5. Mobile Money agents need to be well trained and the Mobile Money Service Provider must perform a due diligence operation on their recruitment. Regular monitoring and re-training is necessary.
6. KYC checks are required for all customers when they register – agents must be trained to process registrations according to the KYC requirements.
7. Mobile Money is an efficient transaction service and does not provide financial inclusion itself, but it is a powerful tool to deliver the services required for financial inclusion.

Use Cases
Access to convenient and secure
mobile financial services
According to a World Bank report, in 2012 there were more people in the
world with a mobile phone than a bank account. This presents a massive
opportunity for the provision of financial services via mobile phones.
Mobile Money is a convenient way for customers to establish an electronic
account and maintain a ‘stored value’, accessible from their mobile phone,
which can then be used for a wide variety of financial transactions. Mobile
Money is a highly effective means of facilitating secure electronic transactions
in both developed and developing markets.
Governments can also use Mobile Money to securely and efficiently disburse wages, pensions and welfare payments
to individuals with stored value accounts. A database of account details and mobile phone numbers for each
recipient enables the implementation of automatic disbursements at regular intervals. Once a transfer is made, the
recipient is notified via SMS.
