ALLPS Management Platform (AMP)
With the introduction of DebiCheck into the National Payment System, the entire South African debit order landscape has undergone significant changes.
While non-face-to-face authentication mechanisms offer a great measure of convenience for both users and payers, they don’t come without their challenges, and it is necessary to look at alternative solutions when these mechanisms fail.
We have developed our sophisticated ALLPS Management Platform (AMP) as an alternative solution should a DebiCheck TT1 Real-Time or any of the other non-face-to-face authentication mechanisms fail. The use of a TT3 card-based mandate authentication mechanism requires a face-to-face interaction with the payer, which is not always possible outside of the AMP Solution.
Amplifin has an established national network of hundreds of multifunctional devices in the field, that can be used for face-to-face engagements by Contracted Network Entities who have concluded agreements with Amplifin to obtain TT3 authentication requests.
AMP provides the ability for you to request a face-to-face TT3 authentication by uploading the matter through our user-friendly platform and will be made available to a network of experienced Contracted Network Entities (CNEs) nationwide, who will obtain the TT3 Authentication Request on your behalf.
The mobile device is taken to the consumer and the consumer can use their card and PIN as an authentication mechanism which includes the electronic signing of the mandate on the device.
Additional paperwork such as, An Acknowledgement of Debt can also be requested to be signed by the Payer.
This service offering can be used to supplement your current authentication strategy without incurring overhead costs. It has proved to be highly effective in the debt recovery market.

Account Verification Services
Account Verification Services (AVS) is a powerful real-time or delayed mechanism that enables users to validate specific bank account details provided by the payer before creating a payment instruction.
AVS is a solid preventative measure against businesses accepting and loading incorrect or fraudulent bank account details when creating debit orders as it ensures that the bank account details provided by the Payer belong to the consumer for which a debit order is being created.
Both Batch (delayed) and Real-time AVS requests are supported.
The consumer details that are verified are as follows:
- Name and Surname
- ID Number
- Bank account type
- Whether the bank account accepts debits or credits
-
Cellular number
(Crucial for DebiCheck in a non face-to-face environment)

ALLPS Prepaid Product System
The ALLPS Prepaid Product System allows Amplifin clients to expand their current product offering by selling various prepaid products such as airtime, electricity and DStv via the ALLPS-i web-based solution.
Prepaid products are typically offered through wholesale providers who supply dedicated Point of Sale hardware and printing equipment that generate receipts containing system-generated codes. These codes are then entered into a relevant device by the end consumer to activate the prepaid product. Instead of introducing additional dedicated prepaid POS hardware into the ALLPS Branch Network, Amplifin has partnered with a wholesale provider that supports an electronic interface, enabling seamless access to prepaid products directly through the system. This approach not only streamlines operations but also allows Amplifin clients to earn a rebate once the prepaid products are sold to end consumers.
No additional monthly fees or transaction costs are applicable for ALLPS users who wish to access the ALLPS Prepaid Product System.
How Prepaid Products are Utilised:
Pre-Paid (PIN) Airtime
The Pre-Paid (PIN) option enables the purchase and printing of an airtime voucher from a list of all the available network options. A system-generated code will be displayed on the printed voucher receipt the customer enters into their device to access and use the airtime purchased.
PIN-less Airtime
The Airtime (PIN-less) option enables the purchase and direct loading of airtime to a specified cell phone number. As such, the customer will not have to enter a system-generated code (as is the case with the Pre-Paid PIN option) to access their airtime. The airtime will be available immediately after purchase.
Electricity
The Electricity option enables the purchase of prepaid electricity. The printed voucher receipt displays the system-generated code the customer can enter into their meter to access and use the electricity purchased.
DStv
DStv prepaid product payments facilitate account payments and make payments into the DStv Account.
