4 A Considered Interface Zaad provides a way of engaging the broader financial system without being a formal consumer of financial services.

They are being more widely promoted by Zaad and slowly gaining traction. B&MG - SOMALILAND MOBILE MONEY STUDIO D RADIODURANS MAY 2015 52
HOW TO SEND MONEY There are two ways to send money with Zaad, by short code (see below) or by a more convoluted USSD menu. Note that when using this short code, fractional amounts cannot be sent. In order to enter a USD amount with change (e.g. US$3.25), the traditional USSD menu must be used (or change given in shillings after the Zaad transaction, as detailed on the following page). Below is the most abbreviated version of the short code in which there are only two steps to complete a transaction: typing in this command and receiving a verification via SMS. To complete a transaction using the traditional USSD menu requires 10 steps. *880*412345*10*1234# (CALL) Prefix for sending to a personal account. Phone/Zaad number of recipient Amount (in USD) PIN *883* is used when sending to a merchant account. B&MG - SOMALILAND MOBILE MONEY STUDIO D RADIODURANS MAY 2015 53
