The same authenticated REST endpoint powers OTP, ISO-20022 transaction alerts, KYC orchestration, and one-tap fraud actions — the API layer beneath AMS-Banks, BroadNet's two-way banking messaging platform. Compliance profile travels with the payload — sender ID, residency, and the regulator's rule set are applied at the edge.

Leading UAE bank Retail banking · GCC AE **Challenge** A regulator-driven sender-ID overhaul forced a full OTP rebuild on a tight window. **Approach** BroadNet's UAE office handled every regulatory sender-ID filing while engineering migrated the OTP fleet onto direct routes. Head of authentication platforms (reference under NDA) KSA Islamic bank Islamic banking · GCC SA **Challenge** A new SAMA strong-authentication mandate arrived on a tight enforcement window, and the bank could not afford an application release per rule change. **Approach** BroadNet's compliance gate applied the updated SAMA authentication rule set as configuration, leaving the core banking stack untouched. VP digital channels (reference under NDA) East African bank Retail & SME banking · East Africa KE **Challenge** A central-bank residency mandate ruled out off-shore DLR storage across its subsidiaries. **Approach** BroadNet's regional edge deployment kept every byte of A2P traffic on-shore with a full audit trail. Director, information security (reference under NDA) Case study · Major regional bank ## OTP and transaction alerts across the bank's markets, consolidated onto one platform. **Challenge** A regional bank ran OTP and transaction alerts through several SMS aggregators across its UAE, KSA, Egypt and Bahrain estates, with no single point of accountability when an SMS-A partner failed during a regional outage. **Approach** The aggregators were consolidated onto BroadNet with direct MNO routes, a single ISO-20022 webhook for transaction alerts and an in-region compliance team owning sender-ID filings across every jurisdiction. **Outcome** One signed REST contract and a single SLA now cover every regulated market in the bank's footprint. Brand reference available under NDA on request.

Questions banking buyers ask ## Eight answers, signed off by our compliance team. Yes. We hold direct A2P interconnects approved by the Saudi Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) and SAMA for KSA banking traffic, by TDRA for the UAE, and by the NTRA for Egypt. Bahrain (TRA), Jordan (TRC) and Qatar (CRA) are similarly covered. Sender-ID registration, content templates and quiet-hours policy are managed by our in-region compliance team — your team files nothing. OTP flows pass through a compliance gate that applies the relevant SCA rule set per regulator — channel restrictions, TTL ceilings, replay windows and binding requirements. The gate is configuration, not code, so when SAMA tightened TTL to 180 seconds in 2025 customers got the new behaviour without redeploying. Audit evidence is exported in regulator-accepted format on request. Within the TTL window we re-pin to the next operator route, escalate channel (SMS → WhatsApp Business → Voice IVR) if your fraud profile allows, and emit a 'delivery degraded' webhook to your auth service so it can offer the customer an in-app alternative. No duplicate billing — failover de-duplicates on the OTP ID. Standard sender IDs land in 5-10 business days in UAE, KSA, Bahrain and Qatar; 7-15 business days in Egypt and Jordan. We pre-clear bank brand names with regulators on annual cycles, so re-registrations and minor variants are typically same-week. Emergency sender ID rotation (incident response) is supported on a 24-hour SLA for enterprise contracts. Every send produces a tamper-evident log line, from the TLS edge to the DLR webhook. 90-day standard retention, 7-year banking tier, with SIEM export to Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel and Elastic. Fraud-flagged messages are quarantined within the rule-eval stage and surfaced in a dedicated webhook your fraud team subscribes to. Yes. We operate in-country edge and storage regions in Riyadh (KSA), Dubai (UAE) and Cairo (Egypt). Routing, template render, logging and DLR storage stay on-shore. Cross-border replication is opt-in and per-workload — never default. Data-residency attestations are part of the standard banking compliance pack. Templates carry tokenised references — never raw PAN or CVV. The handoff payload contains only the conversation ID, the customer's verified MSISDN and a signed deep link to the bank's hosted card-control surface. WhatsApp Business templates are pre-approved by Meta and the regulator; conversational replies are routed back to your core via webhook. Typical timeline: week 1 — security review, DPA, API access token issued, sender-ID filings begin. Weeks 2-3 — integration build, fraud-rule import, ISO-20022 webhook wiring. Week 4 — staged cutover, parallel-run against legacy vendor, signed SLA goes live. Most banks are in full production within four weeks; complex multi-jurisdiction estates take 6-8.
