Inatum SMS
An Inatum solution · West Africa
Inatum SMS delivers your customers' login and payment codes (OTP) and security alerts by SMS and WhatsApp, with built-in fraud protection. Designed for banks, microfinance institutions and fintechs.
Bots trigger thousands of code requests to drain your SMS budget or generate premium-rate traffic.
Poorly protected codes, reusable or with unlimited attempts, open the door to account takeover.
Without delivery tracking or a fallback, a customer who doesn't get their code gives up… or calls your support team.
Six independent checks (bursts, conversion, behaviour, IP reputation, velocity…) vote on every request. Monitoring or blocking mode, your choice.
Generated, expired and verified by Inatum SMS. Stored hashed: nobody can read them back, not even us. Limited number of attempts.
Send by SMS, or by WhatsApp with automatic fallback to SMS if the message isn't read in time. One code, never two bills.
Accepted, handed to the carrier, delivered: every step is timestamped in your customer portal, with CSV export and signed notifications.
Send critical alerts (intrusion, fraud, outage) to your teams, with deduplication so you're never flooded.
You pay for what you send. A message that never left is refunded automatically. Balance, monthly statements and low-balance alert included.
Documentation in English and French, with examples in cURL, Python, PHP and JavaScript.
