Receiving Mobile Money payments in real time
The direct Mobile Money connection will let your operator (Orange Money, MTN MoMo) notify SynkriaOps automatically for every payment received on your merchant account. Customer payments will appear in your bank journal in real time, with no manual statement import required.
What the direct connection will bring
Section titled “What the direct connection will bring”Once activated, for every payment received on your merchant account:
- The transaction appears within seconds in your bank journal, in “to process” status.
- If the payment matches a pending customer invoice, SynkriaOps automatically suggests the reconciliation.
- Every notification is authenticated and traced — no payment can be recorded twice or injected by a third party.

In the meantime: the method available today
Section titled “In the meantime: the method available today”The Mobile Money statement import already covers the full accounting workflow: automatic direction detection (debit/credit), operation fees separated into a distinct line, and reconciliation with your invoices. Export the statement from your wallet (Excel, PDF or CSV), drag it into SynkriaOps, review the preview and validate.
Just make sure your Mobile Money account is configured in
