USSD Questions
Can Paradox help my business get a USSD code in Kenya?
Yes. We support businesses through the USSD code application process with the mobile networks and then build, host and operate the USSD application on our infrastructure.
Does a USSD application work without internet or a smartphone?
Yes. USSD works on every mobile phone, including basic feature phones, and needs no internet connection or app download. That makes it the most inclusive channel for reaching customers in rural and low-connectivity areas.
Can a USSD menu accept M-Pesa payments?
Yes. Our USSD applications integrate with M-Pesa and other mobile money APIs so users can make payments, repay loans and receive confirmations directly from the USSD menu.
Which industries use USSD applications in Kenya?
Microfinance institutions and banks use USSD for loan applications and balance enquiries, government agencies for citizen registration and verification, and agricultural organisations for farmer onboarding and field data collection.
Can the USSD app connect to our existing systems?
Yes. Each menu step can call your APIs in real time to validate input, fetch balances or write records, and session logs and success rates are available in the reporting dashboard.
