When your stores help finance smartphones, risk doesn’t end at checkout. A device locking solution gives you visibility and control until every payment is complete.
‘Default list’ is the word every CFO wants to avoid. When the first few EMIs decide how smooth the rest of the financing journey will be, even a single early default matters. It can affect your store’s reputation with lending partners, even risk putting your store on the dreaded default list, impacting your eligibility for future financing programs.
That’s why CFOs of big retail chains are turning to SMF’s (Smart Mobile Finance) device locking solutions to keep financed smartphones secure and repayments on track from day one.
Why You Need a Device Locking Solution
When customers buy phones on finance, your stores share accountability for early recoveries. Manual follow-ups or reminders often come too late; by the time risk is visible, the damage is already done.
A device locking solution automates that entire layer of protection. It enforces repayment discipline directly, turning every financed phone into a self-managed, revenue-assured asset.
With SMF’s smart device lock, repayment becomes system-driven, not staff-driven. The result: fewer early defaults, better partner confidence, and sustained sales momentum.
From Risk to Control: How It Works
SMF’s mobile finance lock connects repayment status with device access. If a customer misses an EMI, the device automatically sends reminders or restricts usage until dues are cleared. That gives you real-time visibility and control across every store and every lending partner.
With SMF, you gain:-
Smart controls prevent missed EMIs from escalating.
Track all financed phones in one dashboard.
Customers self-correct before default.
Maintain consistent recovery performance and stay off the default list.
