Hi Community, We have been in talks with the team at Hover to incorporate their USSD automation SDK into our mobile banking and mobile wallet apps. Their SDK is quite powerful in that it allows USSD actions to be more incorporated directly into mobile apps. So rather than have a user have to go through a clunky, menu driven user interface you can directly build a nice user experience in your app to guide those USSD actions.
The benefits include being able to directly incorporate mobile payments in an app, especially valuable where a mobile money API is not available, an app can still process payments when data is not available, and your have full control over the user experience in an app versus a clunky USSD menu. We are looking to work closely with the Hover team to ultimately offer a community-wide pricing package to those institutions that might want to use Hover in their apps but first need to test out the integration. Each integration is specific to the USSD provider so we need to work with a small set of partners/users to 1) define the specific actions based on the USSD menus of that provider and 2) work with a user who can actually test the app and integration locally on the live network. Right now we're looking to test out the MTN Uganda Mobile Money connection, MTN Ghana, Safaricom in Kenya, Airtel in South Asia, Wave Money in Myanmar and possibly a provider in Latin America. We are also open to testing out the integration for other mobile money providers so welcome interested parties to reply to this thread. Our GSOC interns are working on the integration with the Hover team ready to support them so we're eager to find some interested pilot users.
