Balance and mini-statement
Customers ask for their balance and a mini-statement of recent transactions, and get an answer in seconds.
It is the most common banking question, handled without a menu or a call.
FinAI is a WhatsApp AI assistant that handles transactions and acts as a personal finance buddy. No app to install, just a conversation.
Most of your customers already live in WhatsApp. FinAI brings your bank to them there. Customers check balances, send money, buy airtime and pay bills by chatting in plain English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo, and get a friendly guide to their spending, budgets and savings goals. Behind the chat, fixed, audited code moves the money. The AI understands what the customer wants, but it never decides an amount, an account or a beneficiary on its own, and every payment is confirmed before it happens.
WhatsApp needs no download, and works for first-time digital users.
The AI interprets; audited tools and PIN confirmation move the money.
