How to create a robust and legally compliant peer-to-peer payment app

YEREVAN, Armenia - Sept. 15, 2022 - PRLog -- What are P2P payment apps?

Peer-to-peer payments are electronic money transfers that are made directly from one account to another account using a payment application.

Why you need to build a custom P2P Payment app

• You can offer something unique potential users won't find in any other similar app.
• You can earn extra money by monetizing your app.
• You will have the opportunity to improve customer relationships.

Types of P2P Payment apps

Banking services: Many banks provide clients with P2P apps to simplify payment processes.

Standalone services: Independent providers offer their own payment systems such as Venmo and PayPal.

Social media platforms: Social media users can send money to their friends without leaving their favorite messengers thanks to built-in payment features.

Mobile OS systems: Examples of mobile OS payment systems are Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay.

Basic features for an MVP

Digital wallet: Users can keep their funds and cards data, make electronic transactions, etc.

Send and request money: App users can send money and request the required amount from other users.

Send bills/invoices: Users can scan bills and send them to other users. On top of that, users can generate an invoice and send it to the recipient.

Push notifications: Users get notified when a card is credited, or there are new special offers or discounts.

Unique ID/OTP: To prevent unwanted or accidental transactions, a user must confirm the unique ID and OTP before making any transaction.

Transfer to a bank account: Users can transfer money from card to bank account.

History: The transaction history helps users keep track of their spending and money transfers.

Legal compliance and challenges

Just like any FinTech app, P2P payment apps should meet the financial regulations and standards of the region the app is built for.

Geo limitations: Different regions have different rules and regulations. So there are certain geographical restrictions you must take into account.

Disputes settlement: Your app should provide financial support to settle disputes (e.g. user sends money to another user, and the receipt doesn't receive it).

Conservatism: You will need to work hard to attract users as many people don't trust new mobile payment services.

Currency conversion: With more than 160 currencies in the world, currency conversion in real-time mode isn't always available in P2P payment apps.
