An updated version of the Nkwa App has been available since February 14 and this is what is NEW. We took into consideration a lot of feedback from our fast-growing community of users to be able to craft an app that they will enjoy using every day.
We recently celebrated how we helped more than 2000 users save more than XAF 36 Million, and to enhance the user experience, we redesigned key features and fixed some minor bugs. Some key new elements include:
- Edit goal: Ever thought about changing the name of a goal, the target amount to raise? look no further. You can now easily rename a goal anytime during the lifecycle of the goal. You can also increase the target amount to raise in this same section.
2. Goal filters: Brand new ability to filter goals i.e. archived goals, accomplished goals, and current goals.
3. Biometric authentication/security: A few more customers have been requesting that we enable some sort of a password lock unto their Nkwa accounts. Today, for every customer device implementing password lock, face id, or touch id, customers can pair this authentication method with their Nkwa accounts.
4. Terms and conditions: using a financial product such as Nkwa requires that users accept certain terms and conditions since we most likely are interacting with user data and financial info. On the Signup page, we now have a link to access our terms of service.
5. Haptic feedback: In an attempt to improve app usage and notifications, we now support haptic feedback for some actions, that is, during biometric login, enabling/disabling biometric settings, during goal payments, etc.
6. Suggestive savings: Under each goal, we are now able to suggest how much a user can save daily, weekly, or monthly to accomplish their individual goals. This is available by tapping on the beeping pulse sign in the goal detail.
7. Improved password recovery: Customers can now seamlessly recover their password by following reset password links instead of the temporal password generation system which is less secure.
8. Know Your Customer (KYC): To help reduce the risk of identity theft and financial fraud our customers are now required to verify their accounts by uploading their real identification documents. If verification is successful, customers get a verified tick on their Nkwa account and name.
That should be it for now, but stay tuned because there's a lot more fun in store for you. Happy new month!
Make the best use of your finances this new month!
