Imagine this situation: A friend from abroad messages you, “I’m landing on Friday. Buy me a concert ticket for Saturday, I’ll transfer the money right away.” And sure enough, you immediately receive a notification that the amount is in your account. You wonder how, since you know you’re not in the same bank?!
Now, all you need is just a phone number to receive money from a friend, family member, colleague, or anyone, regardless of which bank they use or whether they are in Macedonia or abroad.
How does this service work?
This digital trick, enabled through the partner banks of CaSys, is the new secret weapon for various and frequent situations, working on a simple principle. To use the service Pay a friend with just a phone number, it’s enough for your phone number to be registered as an Alias in your bank. Once you do that, the system automatically recognizes you as a recipient, enabling an instant card-to-card transfer, without errors or waiting.
This means no more entering long account numbers, no confusion about whether the transfer will “get stuck.” Sending money has become personal, direct, and intuitive, just like sending a message.
When and why will this service be useful to you?
- When splitting the bill at a restaurant with friends from different banks
- When you want to pay for a birthday gift or repay a loan
- When sending money to your child studying abroad
- When your parents transfer funds for small expenses
- When collecting payment for a service or freelance work from a client who uses a different bank
In fact, this new service is welcome for all generations and lifestyles. Young people love the speed and the fact that there’s no more delay due to accounts in different banks. Parents feel more at ease because they can always rush to provide financial help, no matter where their children are. For employees and freelancers, it’s now much easier to exchange funds for joint projects or small services. Everyday finances have become even more simplified than ever before.
Fast, secure, easy, and always at hand
The best part is that everything happens within your existing mobile banking. No new apps, no complicated procedures—banks have integrated this functionality directly into their own apps, thanks to the technological support from CaSys, the sole processor in the field of card operations, e-commerce, and certified card personalization bureaus. The transfer takes place securely through banking systems, with the highest protection standards, just like any other card payment. The difference is that now, all you need is the recipient’s phone number (or their card number) and a few taps on the screen.
Ready for a new way of paying?
The service Pay a friend with just a phone number service is already available in the mobile apps of CaSys’ partner banks. All you need to do is register your number as an Alias in your bank, and you’re ready for the easiest transfers ever.
With the introduction of this innovative solution, not only are the technical limitations between banks overcome, but also geographical barriers, as the transfer of funds no longer depends on where the recipient is located or which bank they have an account with. In this way, financial transactions become significantly closer, faster, and more intuitive, naturally integrated into everyday communication and living.
