Challenge	DinarPAY, a cloud-based payment gateway platform, was facing a significant challenge in reaching its growing customer base. Despite the increasing market demand for its mobile wallet service and the potential expansion of its customer base due to the Central Bank of Libya's consideration of regulating DinarPAY for its Mobile Wallet License, the company was struggling with limited communication channels. Until the summer of 2020, DinarPAY relied solely on SMS updates to communicate with customers. This method was ineffective in reaching customers in certain countries, limiting the company's ability to connect with existing and new customers quickly and reliably, regardless of their location or preferred communication channel.

About Customer	DinarPAY is a cloud-based, cashless payment gateway platform founded in 2019. It provides customers with multi-currency virtual cards and real-time authorization of debit cards. The platform also allows consumers to pay with, transfer, and top up funds in Dinar Currency (a monetary unit used in several Middle Eastern countries) via a dedicated mobile wallet. Merchants can use mobile applications as a point of sale to process digital payments through the DinarPAY platform. The company has been experiencing a steady increase in demand for its mobile wallet service, especially with the Central Bank of Libya considering regulating DinarPAY for its Mobile Wallet License.

Solution	To overcome this challenge, DinarPAY introduced WhatsApp as a new communication channel for banking updates and authentication. The company partnered with Infobip to continue its SMS communications and to employ its WhatsApp Business Platform solution. This move allowed DinarPAY to better communicate and engage with customers in countries where SMS contact was not possible. Now, every customer across DinarPAY’s operations in Libya and Tunisia receives real-time notifications about account updates and transactions, security reminders, and two-factor authentication to verify payments. Customers can also register for a DinarPAY account via WhatsApp, offering a simpler alternative to SMS. The integration of WhatsApp also provided a verified tick to reassure customers that the service is verified, linking through to DinarPAY’s website and contact page for a quick transition from app to website.
