Starting late March 2026, you’ll be able to approve every online card payment straight from the Pemo app.
That means more control, fewer surprises, and a smoother checkout.
What’s changing?
Some online payments rely on SMS one-time passwords (OTPs). They can be slow, missed, or fail at the worst time.
With in-app approvals, you’ll get a push notification and approve the payment in seconds.
Key benefits
No more OTP drama: no code timeouts or waiting on network coverage.
Fewer declined payments: missed OTPs won’t block time-sensitive purchases.
Faster checkout: soon the ability to approve instantly with Face ID / fingerprint.
Better security: reduces risks linked to SIM swaps and phishing.
More control for finance: approve, monitor, and manage spend in real time.
Less month-end stress: fewer delays means fewer surprises in reporting.
Stronger compliance trail: every approval is logged and ready for accounting.
