    Good works! Do you need any certifications or requirements of cyber security level for the payment App?

    Payment fees are not a problem if you use open banking transactions are >€0.50 also you can integrate a payment gateway api therefore you would not have to register as a small payment institution then have the gateway hold the money first check they are a registered electronic money institution. ( something to look into)

    • @WiredMartian

      Hey Stefan, this project’s initial goal was for the gateway to hold the money so that I do not have to register as a financial institution. So that I could also settle users on the gateway’s account. However, all gateways in South Africa have settle the money. They cannot the money for extended periods so that you cannot “piggyback” on them…
      Again for all the selected gateways, I could not get anything less than 2% per transaction. And there’s a settlement fee as well. Unless I’m missing something, this didn’t seem feasible for trying to save small amounts of money.

      @@WiredMartian Hi there, the 2% fees are card processing fees open banking eradicates this fee as it goes direct from bank similar to bank transfer. I’m in Europe we have had this for a little while now but I have seen development only started in SA oct 22. Also the payment institution should be able to hold the money as escrow for an undefined period of time depending on their license. I hope this helps! You may just be a few months ahead of the curve in SA Edit: I am working on a similar project myself have the finance knowledge just got a steep coding learning curve 😂👌

    Why would someone use this as opposed to a traditional savings account?

    • @WiredMartian
      @WiredMartian  ปีที่แล้ว

      The ultimate idea was the frequent “silent” debit orders as a form of savings. The idea is you saving without feeling the financial strain. That is, you’re not putting away a chunk of your salary, for example away to your savings once a month.
      Hope that makes sense

    Yo bro, I am in university right now doing computer science and I want to create the same app for South America. Not with creditcard integrated but only with p2p virtual money sending from wallet to wallet. And you can top up with mobile provider call credit. Only I do not know how to make a p2p system so that you can send virtual money to each others wallet without bank/provider in the middle just virtual numbers?

    • @WiredMartian
      @WiredMartian  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it would be quite simple without need a bank integration. You’d just need to define the value of your virtual money and what backs it up. But other than that, I think it’d just be moving numbers
