Problem
Existing mobile payment applications often lack seamless integration with social networking platforms, requiring users to switch between apps to send and receive money. This creates friction and disrupts the user experience, making it less convenient to conduct financial transactions within social contexts.
Solution
Hwala provides a mobile payment solution that integrates directly into users' existing mobile banking and e-wallet applications via a custom keyboard. This allows users to send and receive payments within any application where a keyboard is used, such as social networks and messaging apps. By selecting the Hwala keyboard, users can choose a contact and initiate a payment without leaving their current application. The solution aims to provide a more user-friendly and secure mobile payment experience by leveraging familiar social interfaces.
