04 // Prepaid utility lending

Prepaid power, on credit

Electricity tokens on credit, repaid through mobile money. Customers who run out of units borrow a token inside their mobile money app and get it in seconds. SIFOX makes the credit decision and runs the loan book. Our mobile money and bank partners move the money, and the utility issues the token.

  1. 01

    Request

    The customer opens the mini app in their mobile money app, sees their limit and picks an amount for a registered meter.

  2. 02

    Decide

    SIFOX scores the request in real time and shows the fee, units and total payable. The customer confirms with their PIN.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    The token is bought from the SIFOX float and sent on screen and by SMS. The loan starts only once the token is issued.

  4. 04

    Repay

    The customer repays in full or in part from their wallet. Part payments clear the fee first, then the principal.

Built-in recovery

Meter block until repaid
