MOP Benefits

Thus, multiple payments cannot be made in just a single mop passbook without applying any extra steps such as providing additional validation details such as CVV or OTP.
Pre Authorized Payment: In this option, the customer needs to enter the amount only once, that means he can make multiple payments by showing only one payment passbook. Thus, single payment can be made in just a single mop passbook by applying any extra steps such as providing additional validation details such as CVV or OTP.
How to Activate MOP
The customer can activate the mop passbook at any time by providing a valid mobile number for login. Thus, all payments can be made using that mobile number.

How to Pay using MOP
The customer needs to select his accounts in the “Select Account” screen of his bank’s mop app and then select the payment method from the “Bank Payment Methods” option. The customer can choose the available payment option and enter the required details. Thus, he will be able to pay his bills using multiple amounts.
The bank collects all mop details including card numbers, transactions amount and dates etc, then they are sent to the bank’s backend systems (Tenders) for processing. Depending on the type of transaction processed by them (i.e if it is credit card or debit card transaction), the payments are redirected to the respective financial institution. As a result, the customer receives notification about the success or failure of his payment in case of payment method being MOP passbook based for verification & authorization purposes, else he will get a message regarding unsuccessful attempt.
The system shall send a notification to the bank whether the process is successful or not. If the funds transfer is successful, then the transaction shall be closed in MOP system and the funds will be available for further use.
