With the Pin4 Cash solution, money can be delivered safely and securely to customers, beneficiaries and friends & family via a simple text message. For Contis’ community banking division – Engage – which works closely with the Credit Union movement, it will deliver much needed access to cash and emergency payments. It will help overcome the challenges of restricted opening hours and limitations to movement for many families most affected by the pandemic.
Through this partnership, Contis’ clients and Engage Credit Union partners will enable their customers to request a withdrawal to their mobile phone, delivered via secure SMS, empowering them to:
* Withdraw funds from their account and collect at an ATM near home
* Access funds for a lost or stolen card whilst waiting for the replacement to arrive
* Receive an emergency payment and withdraw cash instantly
* Instantly send cash support to friends and family
As part of this partnership, Contis will be a clearing and settlement partner for Pin4 in the UK and exclusively across Europe.
Platform integration work is starting immediately. When complete, Contis’ 250+ clients will have the option of including Pin4 functionality to deliver cash services to their end-customers through the Contis platform.
