Pay with no network at all.
Link your phone once. It holds its own key and pays other Bridgemoni phones with no signal. Every payment settles with your bank the moment you're back online.
Both phones need Bridgemoni. Money on your phone is like cash: read the risks.
“Abeg, do you have cash?”
The seller has no change, the card machine has no signal, and the network bar is empty.
With Bridgemoni, you hold your phone near theirs, enter your PIN, and you're both done. No signal, no data, no tower.
Five steps. The first two happen once.
