Moment 05 · Payment

Every payment is checked against the SIM, phone and payee bound before it.

What the payment checks. Against what came before.

    The face

    Not asked.

  • Checked

    The number and SIM

    The SIM bound at login is the SIM expected at payment, in the same phone.

  • Checked

    The phone

    The same phone, with nobody else driving it through a shared screen or a remote-control app.

  • Checked

    The payee

    The payee scored when it was added is scored again before the money leaves.

  • Checked

    The session

    A call that has run across the payment journey, a shared screen, dictated typing.

The decision. Hold, in the example.

Signs of coercion or a mule payee

  • Why

    On a call with an unknown number for 41 minutes, screen shared with a remote-access app, payee linked to 14 other accounts.

  • The customer sees

    “Payment paused. Your money hasn’t left your account. We’ll call you on +91 •••• 3210.”

  • A good customer

    Usual payments go straight through. A held payment comes with a call back on the registered number.

    The rules, market by market
  • Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines

    Cool-off and hold decisions after a new device, SIM or payee, or when a payment looks coerced, set per market and journey.
