Customer journey

How Agent Banking works

1

Onboard the agent

A local merchant is verified with KYC, assigned float limits, and equipped with the agent app on any smartphone.

2

Customer arrives

A customer walks in to deposit, withdraw, open an account, or pay a bill — no branch required.

3

Agent runs the transaction

The agent captures the amount and the customer detail in the app; cash moves between them.

4

Authenticate & settle

The customer authorises with a PIN; the transaction settles in real time against the agent's float.

5

Receipt & commission

Both parties get an SMS receipt, and the agent earns a commission tracked automatically.

How does agent banking support financial inclusion?

Agents bring banking services to communities without branches, letting customers transact in cash locally while staying connected to the digital financial system.

How are agents and float managed?

Agents are onboarded with KYC and transaction limits, while automated commission and float monitoring track balances and earnings in real time — with a full audit trail for every transaction.
