How your money is protected
Kwik Pay protects balances with encrypted SMS and two factor authentication that combines the registered mobile number with a self activated PIN. Funds remain held with the bank rather than stored on the handset, which means loss of a phone does not mean loss of money. Every transaction requires PIN authorisation entered directly by the holder, and no withdrawal can start on behalf of another person. Kwik Pay never asks users to disclose the PIN, and agents assist only with verified account actions.
