Digital Wallet
Overview
SGT Digital Wallet is a mobile-first consumer wallet with peer-to-peer transfers, bill payments, QR-based merchant pay, tokenised card storage, top-ups and cashback. It is delivered as a turnkey product — iOS and Android apps, a hardened wallet core, and integrations to local banking, card-scheme and Mobile Financial Services (MFS) rails — so a bank, telco or fintech can launch under its own brand in weeks.
Under the hood: a double-entry ledger with idempotent transactions, a PCI-DSS Level-1 card vault for tokenisation, a fraud-scoring engine that learns from per-user device and behaviour signals, KYC tiers (basic, NID, biometric), and dual-direction settlement to partner banks. Every event is auditable. The product is built for high-throughput micro-payments — 1,400+ TPS sustained — at low p99 latency.
- P2P · QR · Bills · Top-ups · Cards — five core flows out of the box
- Bank-grade ledger — double-entry, idempotent, immutable journal
- Fraud scoring — device-bind, behaviour, velocity, geo-anomaly
- KYC tiers — basic (phone), tier-1 (NID OCR), tier-2 (biometric + AML screen)
How It Works
- Wallet App — iOS / Android consumer app showing balance, card carousel, QR scanner, recent transactions, cashback bar, and quick-actions (Send / Pay / Bills / Top-up). Biometric unlock and device-bind enforced.
- Wallet Core — the double-entry ledger writes every move as paired debit/credit entries. Fraud scoring runs per transaction (12/100 typical; anything > 60 triggers step-up or block). Card vault is FIPS-validated HSM-backed.
- Partner Rails — pre-built connectors to local commercial banks (NPSB / RTGS), card schemes (Visa / Mastercard), MFS networks (bKash / Nagad / Rocket-style), and bill aggregators (utility, telco top-up, school fees).
- Users & Merchants — consumer push, SMS OTP, e-mail statement; merchant POS with QR generation, instant settlement, daily payout report, and refund-with-reason workflow.
Features
- Peer-to-peer — by phone number, by wallet handle, by QR
- QR pay — dynamic (merchant-presented amount) and static (consumer enters amount) variants
- Bill payments — utility, telco recharge, internet, school fee, government, custom biller plug-ins
- Card vault — add Visa / Mastercard / Amex; cards tokenised, never stored as PAN
- Cashback engine — fixed, percentage, threshold, partner-funded; A/B test cohorts
- Multi-currency — single wallet supports multiple ledger currencies with FX-time-of-spend
- White-label — colour theme, logo, brand name, push-notification copy, app-store listing
- Admin / ops console — KYC review, dispute resolution, manual hold / release, audit trail export
