Why SmartDebit?
Traditional mandate management is a "blind" administrative process. You get a signature, but you don't know if the account is risky. With SmartDebit, you merge compliance and security:
Stop collecting invalid mandates
Reduce first-debit returns
One API for everything
Improve user trust & conversion
Better user experience
SmartDebit value adds
Integrated extensions to optimize your recurring collections

SmartTiming
Liquidity-aware debit execution (dynamic date)
Move away from static debit dates & execute payments when money is actually available – increasing success rates with AI-driven timing.
Smart Debit analyzes historical account patterns to predict the optimal moment of liquidity (e.g., salary receipt). We trigger the transaction when the probability of success is highest, significantly reducing returns due to insufficient funds.
✔ Higher collection rates
✔ Lower costs & admin
✔ Better customer retention
SmartAdjust
Dynamic recurring payments (variable amount)
Automate price updates and fluctuating bills effortlessly. Manage dynamic debit changes within the existing mandate framework without user friction.
Smart Adjust enables seamless execution for usage-based billing or inflation adjustments without requiring the customer to re-sign or re-authenticate. This reduces administrative overhead & prevents involuntary churn during price changes.
✔ Seamless price updates
✔ Zero administrative friction
✔ Faster settlement


Calytics Fraud Intelligence (CFI)
Real-time fraud checks using shared intelligence
Calytics screens every mandate against our Shared Fraud Intelligence network and blocks transactions linked to fraud or unauthorised activity.
We combine live bank signals with community-wide fraud data to instantly detect high-risk patterns and block serial offenders. Beyond basic blocklisting, our system blocks offenders using criteria such as device fingerprint, email, bank and IP address.
✔ Blocks known fraud
✔ Detects emerging patterns
✔ Prevents losses early
