USSD Mobile Banking

Telco USSD menu for balance, statement, transfers, and bill pay.

A complete mobile banking menu on USSD: balance enquiry with PIN, mini-statement, mobile money transfers, utility bill pay, and OTP verification, compliant with telco screen limits.

The problem

  1. Legacy USSD stacks are expensive to change.
  2. Each banking product needs a separate short code.
  3. OTP and payment flows are hardcoded per menu.

How Syntra solves it

  1. Numeric menus with 0=Back navigation.
  2. PIN validation and payment.initiate actions.
  3. OTP verify path for step-up authentication.
