Project Summary
Mifos has recently released a full set of client-facing API’s to provide a direct control of data to the clients. Earlier there were bank facing API’s which were utilised in the Mifos web app and Mifos android client as well. Mifos android client helped the bank staff to access client’s data on the go but, clients were still bank dependent to do any kind of transaction or edit any personal information. With the help of new client-facing API’s, I propose to develop a Self-Service Android App so that clients have direct control over their data and they can perform basic operations such as transaction of money from one account to another on the go.
Goals
- To provide users direct control over their bank accounts.
- Help users to transfer money to their own accounts as well as accounts of others.
- Help users change their account information on the go.
- Provide offline accessibility of data to the users.
Background, Impact, and User Need
Mifos already provides banking android application for field officers, this application will be having many similar features to that of field officers application but providing direct control to the users. All the users which were using the Mifos based banking solution will be benefited by this application.
