Customers will forgive a plain app that shows the right balance. They will not forgive a beautiful app that disagrees with the collector's receipt. White-label work should start with the ledger and the payment button, then add logos, colours, and the institution's domain. OrbitMFI's tenant branding exists for that order of operations.
Screens that matter
Investments theatre and stock charts can wait. Ghanaian MFI customers came for credit and susu, not a neo-bank fantasy.
- Savings balance and last three receipts.
- Loan or HP amount due, due date, and pay button.
- Downloadable statement.
- A ticket so 'I paid' has a trail.
Brand without a second database
Logos, colours, SMS sender IDs, and support phones are tenant settings. The tables stay shared with RLS. If your vendor clones a database per logo, you will pay for every patch twelve times.
