Safety and regulation
Kwik Pay keeps money with the bank and authorises activity on the handset with a registered mobile number and a self-activated PIN. Every transaction travels by encrypted SMS and needs that secret PIN, which gives two factor validation on each action. Withdrawals start only on the account holder handset, so no other person can take funds on their behalf. Losing the phone does not mean losing the money because access still depends on the number and PIN. Holders should keep the PIN private and note that Kwik Pay never asks for it.
