Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Swifin

Thanks for your interest in Swifin, a service platform for multi-vendor ecommerce and integrated payments collection and Digital Currency disbursement and distribution for central authorities.

The Swifin platform is a collection of technology tools put together to achievement the specific goals of driving financial inclusion for all – a platform for inclusive value exchange with decorum that allows multiple regulated institutions to deliver digital financial services to their customers and empowers multiple vendors to list their products, manage inventory and efficiently collect payments for the goods and services they distribute via the Swifin Platform to community members. Typically, two categories of products are distributed

1. Digital Products
2. Physical Products

Digital Products are classified as those for which delivery against payment can be fulfilled via electronic means in real-time (some examples of digital products include prepaid Airtime, Prepaid Data bundles, TV subscriptions, and prepaid utility services such as token based metered access to water and electricity, packaged credit, electronic vouchers, etc.).

Physical products on the other hand are those for which delivery against payment can be fulfilled via physical delivery of the good or service (some examples of physical products and services include mobile phones, tablets, TVs, haircut, etc.).

The Swifin platform is designed to bring Consumers or Customers together with Service Providers or Merchants or Suppliers, enabling them to exchange value seamlessly across the platform. In most cases involving digital products this exchange is achieved in real-time or within minutes of paying for the product. The platform tracks every order and ensures that where refunds may be required due to non-delivery, it can be achieved efficiently and automatically where possible. In most cases involving physical products, the platform puts the Customer in full control of the buying experience by ensuring the release of funds only upon satisfactory delivery or collection of the products by the buyer and subject to the agreed delivery method while at the same time giving the merchant the added comfort of knowing that the ordered products have been paid for.

The integrated payments collection service ensures that disbursement of sales proceeds across multiple vendors is efficiently, instant and empowers the Merchants to pay other suppliers on the platform immediately from sales proceeds thereby turning over capital more rapidly to create more wealth. The multivendor credit disbursement service allows both individual and business members to access credit for use across the exchange or as may be required.

The terms of accessing the services on Swifin Platform are laid out here.
