BroadNet Technologies has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with AppTech Payments Corp. (NASDAQ: APCX), the fintech company behind the Commerse commerce platform. The collaboration integrates BroadNet's A2P SMS, OTP, and omnichannel messaging into AppTech's digital-payment and banking experience, so banks and merchants can reach customers with real-time updates, notifications, and alerts across SMS, WhatsApp, and email.

## What the partnership delivers

AppTech's Commerse platform aims to unify digital payments and banking into a single omnichannel experience. BroadNet contributes the messaging layer: a suite that spans A2P SMS, OTP, HLR lookup, SMS Firewall, and SMSC Gateway, all built on industry-standard frameworks. For AppTech's clients, that means direct, verified communication channels tied to payment and account events — the notifications and one-time passcodes that underpin trust in financial services.

## Built to financial-services standards

Messaging for payments has to clear a higher bar for security and reliability. BroadNet's messaging is designed to information-security best practice and is backed by the company's ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications and GSMA membership — see the [security and compliance overview](https://www.broadnet.me/security). Delivery runs over direct operator routes rather than grey routes, which is what keeps OTPs arriving on time.
