Having adequate security controls is an essential component of any trust-based system, especially social payment services and payment service providers, in order to assure the users within the ecosystem of confidentiality, integrity and security of their payment processing. MOJA 104 offers some perspective on how Mojaloop solves these issues by investigating how the Mojaloop hub works at a high level, some of the risks associated with payment gateways, and, finally, how Mojaloop secures its payment transactions and why this is important to its users.

This course will provide you with an understanding of what the scheme is in the context of an inclusive instant payment system (IIPS).
