Launch HN: Nala (YC W19) – Internet-Free Mobile Payments App for Africa

Congrats on the launch. The solution looks much simpler than https://www.angaza.com/ I guess. That said, angaza does a lot more than just offline keycode based payments. Do you plan to do similar things as well or stick to core payments experience?

I'd like to see a video or a how-to page, to be honest, that sells the simplicity... like one on angaza [0] but I'm not your target user by any stretch of imagination.

I do have some qualms around claims in the security section like

"Verified by Google APIs"

"Bank Grade Security"

"Your mobile PIN travels through your telecom's encrypted network"

"Create a NALA PIN in addition to mobile money PIN"

It'd not hurt to detail these claims in a more digestible manner instead of what looks like hand-wavvy sales checklist? Again, I'm not your target user.

Great idea! Yes, the current process of sending money is so long... literally 39-46 digits (including waiting times) per payment.

Thanks for the Angaza reference, we will work on creating simple videos!
