BankLingo's Mandate Management and Disbursement Platform modules give financial institutions a single place to handle direct debit collections and bulk payouts — fully integrated with NIBSS and orchestrated through BPMN workflows.

Mandate Management​

Direct debit mandates are the backbone of recurring collections — loan repayments, insurance premiums, subscription fees, and more. BankLingo handles the full mandate lifecycle:

End-to-End Mandate Workflow​

  • Creation — Generate mandates with customer consent, linked to specific products or obligations.
  • Approval — Multi-level approval workflows with configurable authority limits.
  • Activation — Automatic submission to NIBSS for mandate registration.
  • Collection — Scheduled deductions with automatic retry on failed attempts.
  • Modification & Cancellation — Update amounts, frequencies, or cancel mandates with full audit trail.

NIBSS Integration​

Mandates are submitted directly to NIBSS for registration and execution. BankLingo handles the communication protocol, hash validation, response handling, and status reconciliation — so your team doesn't have to deal with the low-level integration.

Workflow-Driven Collections​

Every mandate action is a step in a BPMN process. You can add custom logic at any point:

  • Send SMS reminders before a deduction date
  • Escalate failed collections to a recovery team
  • Automatically adjust deduction amounts based on account balance
  • Trigger alternative collection channels if the primary fails

Disbursement Platform​

Whether it's loan payouts, salary runs, vendor settlements, or customer refunds — BankLingo's disbursement platform handles single and bulk payments to any bank account in Nigeria.

Capabilities​

  • Single Disbursements — One-off payments triggered by loan approvals, refund requests, or manual instructions.
  • Bulk Disbursements — Upload a batch file or trigger programmatically for salary payments, agent commissions, or mass payouts.
  • Approval Workflows — Route disbursements through configurable approval chains based on amount, type, or destination.
  • NIBSS NIP Integration — Instant inter-bank transfers via the NIBSS Instant Payment (NIP) channel.
  • GL-Based Funding — Disbursements can be funded from customer accounts or General Ledger accounts, with automatic postings.
  • Status Tracking — Real-time status updates, automatic retry on timeouts, and reconciliation against NIBSS responses.

Scheduled Disbursements​

Set up recurring payouts — weekly agent commissions, monthly vendor settlements, or daily interest credits — all managed through the process engine with configurable schedules and exception handling.

Built for Scale​

Both modules are designed for high-volume operations. Process thousands of mandate deductions or disbursement transactions in a single batch, with parallel processing and detailed transaction-level reporting.
