Through an a la carte offering with Finc Ingenico Group offers a complete set of financial services, communication channels and authentication methods. Its a la carte platform allows clients to select user experience that is most fit for the market.

Mobile Money Finc supports all Mobile Money services: Money Transfer, Bill Payment, Airtime Top-up, Cash-in, Cash-out, Bulk Disbursement, Merchant Payment, etc. Agency Banking Traditional agency banking services are available through an Ingenico smart terminal. Agents enroll unbanked people in the system and offer them the full-service portfolio, including account management, credits, savings and insurances. OTC services Agents initiate securely financial services on the smart terminal upon their customers request (such as paying bills, buying airtime and sending money), to serve the unbanked until they are familiar with electronic transactions. Overcome market constraints To ensure the program can be adapted to each market, consumers and agents may use various communication channels.
