The fintech playbook. Built in the builder, decided by your ledger.

Ten journeys, each drawn below as it runs. The decision comes from your ledger, your credit engine or criteria you set; the journey carries it. Aims are targets to agree in the pilot, not results.

Fund the wallet within forty-eight hours of KYC.

A verified wallet with no top-up after forty-eight hours gets one push that opens Add money, and one WhatsApp three days later if money still has not landed; the journey stops the moment it does.

Decides
your ledger's KYC and top-up events.
Aim
more wallets funded in the first week.
Built in the journey builder
Fund the wallet within forty-eight hours of KYCFINTECHStarts when your ledger says verified; stops the moment money lands.

Drawn as it would run in the builder. Thresholds, windows and channel order are the ones you set; the decision at each API step comes from your system.

What it takes to run
Intended outcome
more wallets funded in the first week.
Trigger
KYC verified, wallet empty (your ledger)
Events and identifiers
KYC verified, wallet empty (your ledger). The trigger arrives from your system by API with your customer identifier and the fields named in the trigger. Example inputs; map them to your own event names and identifiers at setup. Every event carries your customer identifier.
Your systems in the loop
None beyond the platform's own records: the contact, its consent, and the delivery record.
Consent
Checked inside the journey at the step shown, and per channel before any send.
Stops when
top-up seen? stop · topped up within three days? stop. The customer completes the step the journey waits for, the deadline on a wait passes, or the branch drawn for silence ends.
If a channel fails or nobody answers
A channel that reports failure advances the fallback order on that carrier signal; silence takes the path drawn for it, with the deadline you set. Delivery callbacks that arrive late update the record when they arrive. An API step that answers no, or fails, takes the branch drawn for it; the platform does not act on your system's behalf beyond that request.
Success metric
more wallets funded in the first week. Population: contacts who entered the journey in the window. Compared with the baseline window agreed before the pilot, on the conversion events you define. A before-and-after difference is a comparison, not proof of cause.

Offer the savings pocket the day the salary lands.
