About Prepaid Voucher System


One System, Any Recharge

The Prepaid Voucher System (PPVS) is a secure, carrier-grade system that enables Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to create prepaid vouchers for mobile services, digital content, and other offerings. The system works through a simple three-step process: a CSP generates vouchers, distributes them to dealers, and customers purchase and redeem these vouchers to recharge their accounts.

Customers can recharge through whichever channel they prefer—SMS, USSD, IVR, retail stores, or banking outlets.

PPVS handles the complete voucher lifecycle, starting with creation and provisioning, continuing with customer redemption and account top-ups, and concluding with voucher expiry and archiving. PPVS integrates seamlessly with your Online Charging System (OCS), ensuring that customers’ top-ups are processed in real time with immediate balance updates.

The system includes built-in fraud prevention by blacklisting vouchers after repeated failed redemptions, enforcing multi-party inputs during voucher creation, and requiring dealer-side decryption to activate voucher batches.

From one easy web interface, operational teams can manage all voucher tasks: create and distribute vouchers to dealers, track their statuses, run reports, manage customers, set access controls, monitor alerts, and view real-time statistics. This makes voucher management simple, secure, and keeps you in control.


Key Benefits


  • Full Voucher Lifecycle Management: End-to-end control of voucher creation, activation, redemption, status tracking, and archiving.
  • Voucher Fraud Prevention: Voucher creation requires multi-party input, and dealers must decrypt batches with their own keys before use. After repeated failed redemptions, block customers (with auto time-based unblocking). You can also temporarily suspend vouchers or permanently blacklist or delete them.
  • Flexible Recharge Options: Provide more consumer choices with multi-service, fixed-value, variable-value, and PIN-less vouchers.
  • High Capacity: Designed to handle up to 400 million vouchers per server.
  • Operational Visibility and Control: The web-based interface lets you manage vouchers, generate voucher reports, monitor system activity, and view statistics and alarms.

Key Features


  • Generate Vouchers: Create and provision voucher batches for dealers with:
  • Fixed denominations or dynamic (as-needed) voucher values.
  • Dealer-specific credentials and voucher validity periods.
  • Voucher Lifecycle Management
  • Recharge Voucher Support: Allow customers to recharge (top-up) their accounts over SMS, USSD, IVR, banking apps, or retail channels.
  • Voucher Activation and Redemption: Activate vouchers for dealers to sell and customers to securely redeem via authenticated APIs and PIN validation.
  • Voucher Status Tracking: Keep track of voucher states—ready to use, available, redeemed, withdrawn, and blacklisted.
  • Voucher Archiving: Automatically archive expired or inactive vouchers for long-term storage using configurable dump schedules.
  • Voucher Reporting and Statistics
  • Voucher Lifecycle Reports: Identify which vouchers are provisioned, activated, deleted (withdrawn), blacklisted, and reinstated.
  • Voucher Recharge Reports: Identify total recharges per dealer for each voucher type. And identify the customer MSISDNs that recharged, along with their voucher types, recharge dates, amounts, and voucher serial numbers.
  • Voucher Statistics: View live voucher activity, including recharge counts, success and failure rates, and usage trends.
  • Security and Fraud Prevention
  • Secure Voucher Creation: Vouchers require multiple roles to create and activate them, ensuring no single party can do so unilaterally.
  • Secure Voucher Distribution: Voucher batches are always encrypted preventing tampering or unauthorised retrieval.
  • Customer Blocking and Unblocking: Temporarily block MSISDNs after repeated failed recharge attempts to prevent brute- force PIN attacks.
  • Blacklist, Reinstate, or Delete Vouchers: Blacklist or delete vouchers suspected of fraud or theft to prevent redemption; and reinstate blacklisted ones if needed for use.
  • System Management and Control
  • Management Interfaces: Intuitive UI for managing voucher lifecycles, system users, alarms, blocking, and system resources.
  • Voucher Lookup and Monitoring: Search for vouchers using PINs, serial numbers, or digests and inspect detailed status histories.
  • User and Role Management: Define and control access rights for users and administrators via group-based permissions.
  • Alarm Monitoring: Receive and manage system-level alerts related to performance, failover, and storage limits.
  • OCS Integration and Deployment
  • Real-time Voucher Charging: Integrates with the OCS to ensure all voucher redemptions are immediately reflected in customers’ accounts.
  • Queue Monitoring: Actively monitors OCS queues to ensure recharge requests are processed without delay.
  • Deployment Options: Use the system in communications networks, with software installed on cloud-based virtual servers or on-premises bare metal servers.
  • Performance, Redundancy, and Scalability
  • High Throughput: Carrier-grade processing ensures fast response times even at peak loads.
  • High-Capacity Scalability: Handles scale with ease, supporting up to 400 million vouchers per server.
