Our Services
Platform & project delivery
Amanacard Members enjoy access to a rigorously vetted network of accredited Amanacard Merchants, redeeming Points for cash, goods, or services on a secure, bank-grade platform.
Our platform-as-a-service processes payment orders, transfers money electronically to end recipients, records transactions, and maintains bespoke software for protecting sensitive personal data.
Our project teams manage logistics related to the orders, and ensure we maintain the highest standards of compliance. We regularly support organisations with external audits and supply independently verified documentation for insurance claims.
Our single portal bridges public and private funding channels, creating a new payment ecosystem. We meet taxpayer demands for greater value for money, transparency, and accountability in aid spending, and offer the surge in private donors the opportunity to connect directly with people in the remotest corners of the world. Senders can now provide direct relief to households by covering utility bills and other essentials, in the knowledge that 100% will reach the Spender.

The intricate system of control points within our platform and service provides an unprecedented independent verification layer for payments, ensuring transparency, compliance, and privacy for the key participants.
This appeals to a range of stakeholders in government, audit firms, insurance companies, import-export traders and ultimately end beneficiaries (e.g. a surgeon being paid in a hospital that is subject to regular air strikes from bad actors).
Since 2016, we've benefited from the pro-bono support of Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, Doughty Street Chambers, and an independent advisory board to develop bespoke policies and tools to anticipate and mitigate all key risks of the business.
The Amanacard is the verified digital ID that unlocks financial freedom.
Members can select a physical card or go fully digital with our virtual option. It contains a serial number and a 3-digit CVV code, which supporters, friends and family can enter to send money. Transactions are stored in your My Amana app, along with a full history which can be used in the absence of traditional bank statements.
Personal safety and dignity are our top priorities.
Our technology and logistics are tailored to those experiencing extreme pressure, and guided by a team with lived empathy of the context. Every decision focuses on enhancing user safety and experience. Independent assessors evaluated our platform as a pass with flying colours - zero non-conformances! - in January 2022 when we were awarded ISO:27001 certification.
