Project category : finance.
when people come to al-hajj they usually need to convert their money to SAR and then after they are finished they need to convert it back to their original currency. The problem here is that they will be charged twice for this operation. So we thought why can't we make people pay in SAR and get charged for currency changing rate one time only?!
The Idea is to have two apps , one for shops and one for the customers. When the customer arrive to the airport for example a shop (for our service) will take the money he want to change into SAR and take them as a deposit once the customer has finished and want to return home he can find our office and take the rest of his money in his currency without extra changing rate (the money will be converted after payments in bulks)
We built this app using more than one technology and more than one programming languages. We have used (Ionic as mobile development side) and PHP as a back-end development language and mysql for the database.
Challenges we ran into :
1- how to convert with the lowest changing rate. 2- how to make this app easy for everyone. 3- how to make the service accessable even without having the app on the customer's phone !
Accomplishments that we're proud of
1- we have found a way to make the changing rate less. 2- we have found a way to make the transaction rate is done only applied only once.
What we learned
A lot about business and new technologies.
What's next for pay
1- make it more secure. 2- take it to the market !
