7Grant platform features
7Grant is built from five groups of components: identification channels that need no app, entitlement types and spending controls, merchant tooling on existing hardware, evidence and integration, and security with on-premise deployment. Together they let a programme restrict how aid is used without asking anyone in the chain to adopt new software.
- No app to install
- Enforced at checkout
- Existing POS terminals
- On-premise option

Browse by group
Each group answers one question a programme team asks when it evaluates a delivery platform.
Access without an app
Beneficiaries reach assistance through channels they already carry. Nothing to download or register.
Messenger bots
Balance enquiries, dynamic QR payment, receipt submission and a two-way channel back to the programme, in WhatsApp or Telegram.
Used in
Instant paymentPhone and anonymous cards
A phone number spoken at checkout, or an anonymous plastic card with no personal data. Routes for feature phones, no handset and protection contexts.
Used in
Category limitsFlash-call authorisation
An unanswered incoming call whose last four digits are the code. Cheaper than SMS at scale, which matters across millions of confirmations.
Used in
Category limitsEntitlements and spending controls
Permitted categories, blocked categories, daily and monthly limits, enforced at checkout rather than audited afterwards.
Spending controls
Permitted and blocked categories with daily and monthly limits. The rule is checked at the moment of purchase.
Used in
Category limitsCommodity accounts
Accounts denominated in litres, kilograms and kits rather than currency. Goods are issued against the balance, so the entitlement cannot become cash.
Used in
E-vouchersBeneficiary accounts
One person, several accounts, different rules on each. A strict ration and a flexible allowance can coexist on one beneficiary.
Used in
Category limitsDeduplication
Beneficiaries exist as single records holding multiple accounts, so one household assisted by three programmes is visible as one household.
Applies to
Every delivery schemeMerchant network
Merchants accept 7Grant on hardware they already own. No second device on the counter.
POS terminal acceptance
The programme runs on the acquiring terminals merchants already operate. No hardware purchase, no certification.
Used in
E-vouchersScanner app
A light application on the merchant's own smartphone: check a balance, choose a category, read a voucher. For retailers with no terminal.
Used in
Category limitsMerchant whitelist
Only vetted merchants can receive programme funds. An unlisted merchant cannot be paid at all, and removal takes effect immediately.
Used in
Instant paymentWeb and portal widgets
A payment module embedded in a government service or commercial site, so targeted funds can pay utilities, pharmacy orders and fees online.
Applies to
Every delivery schemeEvidence and integration
Donor reports assembled from the transactions themselves, not from field returns.
Donor reporting
Every transaction records account, merchant, category, amount and time. Reports are assembled from those records.
Applies to
Every delivery schemeReceipt capture
The beneficiary photographs the receipt in the chatbot, and the image is filed against the transaction the platform already authorised.
Applies to
Every delivery schemeAPI and integrations
An existing registry upstream, financial service providers downstream. Records import and export in full, because portability is a buyer's right.
Applies to
Every delivery schemeSecurity and deployment
Defence in depth for beneficiary data, with the option to run inside your own perimeter.
Defence in depth
Isolated storage, separated components, role-based access, encrypted transport and full audit logging.
Applies to
Every delivery schemeOn-premise deployment
Run 7Grant inside your own security perimeter, with the database isolated from external networks and personal data kept in your jurisdiction.
Applies to
Every delivery schemeBeneficiary data protection
Designed around a second question beyond lawfulness: what happens to this person if the data is compromised, subpoenaed or seized.
