NayaPay

Erlang Solutions built a secure, scalable backend for NayaPay, integrating MongooseIM to enable real-time communication and financial transactions.

The Company

NayaPay is a payment platform transforming peer-to-peer and peer-to-merchant transactions across Asia. By merging social interactions with financial services, NayaPay offers users a unique mobile payment experience through a chat interface. Consumers can interact via chat profiles, while merchants operate through chatbots acting as virtual storefronts.  To support its growing user base and maintain its innovative edge, NayaPay needed a reliable backend infrastructure for seamless real-time communication and transaction processing. They turned to Erlang Solutions (ESL) for their expertise in MongooseIM to deliver a solution tailored to the demands of the financial services industry.

Real-time communication challenges

As NayaPay looked to enhance its chat capabilities, it needed a reliable XMPP chat server that could integrate with its existing ChatSDK library. After evaluating several options, MongooseIM emerged as the best choice due to its strong security features, flexibility for future enhancements, and robust framework for real-time messaging—crucial for providing the level of performance and security required in financial services.

Given the sensitive nature of the platform, ensuring secure and fault-tolerant communication was essential.

Building a secure, scalable solution

Erlang Solutions was brought on board to implement a secure and efficient backend system. The team set up a production environment, performed stress testing during the pilot phase, and followed this with performance tuning and feature enhancements, such as the integration of voice and video chat capabilities. 

The MongooseIM backend was seamlessly integrated with NayaPay’s ChatSDK frontend, optimised for both Android and iOS, which ensures a smooth user experience. To meet the stringent security demands of the financial services industry, ESL delivered an on-premises deployment, hosted on a private cloud. The deployment included rigorous security measures to protect sensitive data from potential threats.

Ensuring high security and compliance

To meet industry-leading security standards, Erlang Solutions implemented critical features like public key-based client authentication, encrypted connections between clients and servers, and FIPS 140 compliance.

These enhancements allowed NayaPay to securely manage sensitive financial information, without compromising on performance or reliability.

 

Poised for future growth

NayaPay’s chat platform is now live and operational, perfectly suited for the demands of the financial services sector. 

With a solid infrastructure strengthened by Erlang Solutions’ implementation of MongooseIM, the platform is ready to scale to meet NayaPay’s growth targets.

MongooseIM is integral to NayaPay’s strategy, allowing the platform to expand its service offerings and strive to become one of Asia’s leading super-apps.

‘MongooseIM ticked all the boxes for ease of integration, reliability and built-in scalability. The support and guidance have been of the highest quality. With Erlang Solutions as a trusted technology partner, we have peace of mind in the user experience we can deliver.’
