A new way to accelerate financial inclusion:
VeriPark’s e-Wallet solution
A
s great, personalised customer experiences become the new
normal for consumers, financial organisations recognise the
importance of applying game-changing digital innovations. New
services such as mobile wallets now come into play to meet the
demands of banking customers, particularly millennials who want
omnichannel consumer service available on the go, anytime,
virtually anywhere.
From this perspective, Turkish-based company, VeriPark, designed
an e-Wallet solution, building on 20 years of experience with the
VeriChannel solution based on the Microsoft platform and Azure
services. The solution stands out as a new way of managing finances
through one single application, which is accessible 24/7 at the tips of
customers’ fingers. Customers can easily manage and control their
budgets, monitor their expenses and reach campaigns in their areas
of interest. Before e-Wallet, payment used to be tied to a location
– but not anymore. Customers can now make P2P contactless
payments in real time and use QR codes or NFC to facilitate faster
mobile payments.
VeriPark’s e-Wallet was recently implemented for a bank as a
financial inclusion and digital payment solution, gaining over 50,000
customers in the first three months. Customers can instantly perform
card transactions, manage coupons, follow up and apply merchant
campaigns and earn loyalty points. They can also defer payment or
pay in instalments, splitting the total into smaller amounts to pay off
at regular intervals over a set period – and much more.
