Each disbursement is paired with its sub-transactions and incoming loan repayments. The reconciliation feature also matches system confirmations, system charges and updates the overall account balance.

Having consolidated data of both outgoing and incoming transactions, as well as balances of partner banks and MMTs, FinTPm is able to present a report of the overall liquidity and financial position.

The Duplicate Detection feature allows detection of possible duplicate messages and early alerting for further investigations.

The option is configurable at each implemented business flow level: e.g. disbursements, loan repayments, confirmations and charges.

The status of disbursements is permanently updated, to reflect its current state. Each disbursement is linked to loan repayments, charges and confirmations, making it easy for operators to monitor and investigate.

FinTPm can be deployed in a multi-county setup. In can be configured to function on multiple currencies.

Advanced reports allow operators to list transactions by type, by reference, by customer data, by distribution channel. These reports can be automatically generated and sent to the relevant parties.

Each transaction is booked into the accounting system. So, aside from the in-application status update and reconciliation information, each amount is booked into accounting, creating end-to-end consistency.

Disbursements are split into sub-transactions is the amount exceeds a configured limit. And they are sent via the configured MMT channel in separate days.

The internal format used by FinTPm is ISO 20022

Flat files can be processed, as long as the format is structured and defined.

Proprietary formats can be processed, as long as they are structured and defined.

The system is being audited and monitored to ensure best performance.

The FinTPm solution for microfinance offers flow automation and integration of various internal applications, such as accounting, human resources, loan disbursement, treasury, with external services provided by mobile money transfer providers (MMTs), banks or external networks (SWIFT, CSM).

Disbursement management: possibility to validate, check for duplicates, split into sub-transactions is amount exceeds the configured limit.

FinTPm by design ensures persistent end-to-end transactions. It features multi-threading capabilities and error detection and recovery mechanism.

This feature is useful to admins or operators for investigation purposes.

It is a tool designed to make the testing process more objective. Its main purpose is to assist and help people involved in the test and validation process, providing fast and complete checks of the application:

–        after the initial installation in the customer’s environment;

–        after configuration changes;

–        after the installation of major releases or patches, also known as regression testing;

–        after extending the product with new features.

It is built as a collection of modules that can be used on their own to test certain business or technical functionalities. The automated testing is performed:

–        in different deployment architectures;

–        for different versions of prerequisites;

–        for different technical interfaces with other applications;

–        for custom configurations.
