Eliminate the need for costly call centres and customer service help desks by going mobile. Using a mobile platform such as SMS text messaging for simple and repetitive tasks such as reminders about payments due or balance requests can reduce the burden on IT and personnel resources. Using secure and integrated messaging platforms means that you can reduce the costs and errors associated with paper-based payments.

Clickatell has been instrumental in enabling leading financial institutions to roll out mobile components to their banking services. In South Africa, First National Bank (FNB), used Clickatell's mobile-enabling products to allow their customers to conduct bank transactions as well as make third party purchases for prepaid airtime and electricity from their mobile phones. FNB was able to cut across all geographical and demographical limitations with this mobile banking strategy; South Africa has over 90% mobile phone penetration as opposed to a much more limited landline and Internet access.

Clickatell, the world's leading mobile messaging provider, offers financial institutions reliable and secure SMS-enabling connections and an award-winning SMS Gateway messaging platform that ensures reliable delivery of real-time text messages to your customers, wherever they are, whenever you want.
