Project Summary
This project involves integrating mobile money services into the Mifos platform which
will make this platform more accessible to clients especially those in West and Central
Africa. With mobile money integrated into the core banking system of financial
institutions, services such as money transfer, real time account information and many
more become possible.
The mobile money engine is a solution that is going to be designed to be integrated into
the Mifosx platform. This will make it possible for Mifosx platform to be used like a
mobile banking system. The test case here will be Cameroon.
This mobile money engine will enable clients who have an account in any institution
currently running the Mifosx platform(and also a mobile money account) to do the
following and possibly more:
1. Save money from mobile money account to Mifosx platform account.
2. Withdraw money from a Mifosx platform account to the client's mobile money
account.
3. Carry out money transfer from one Mifosx platform account to another.
For the mobile engine to be developed, the client's information will be gotten using the
Mifosx platform API and more specifically the Customer Self-Service API
