What is Dana? Key Features of the App

What is Dana? Dana is an Indonesian banking app with a digital wallet that allows users with a number of useful financial services. The app was launched in 2018 in Jakarta, Indonesia, initially offering limited financial operations and loyalty points to its users. The same year it was granted a license of a fintech company while attracting over 20 million users and in 7 months from the launch.

So far, the Dana wallet holders are able to do the following things without admin fees required:

  • Money Transfers. Send money to a single user or multiple users at once. Dana partners with major Indonesian banks like BCA, BRI, BNI, and Mandiri, allowing for fee-free transactions to these accounts.
  • Bill Payments. Easily pay your utility and other bills through the app.
  • Mobile Top-Up. Refill your mobile balance with support from a wide range of mobile providers.
  • Online and Offline Purchases. The Dana wallet is accepted at most online stores, traditional shops, and physical establishments across Indonesia.
  • QRIS Payments. Use QRIS, Indonesia’s version of QR codes, to make secure and convenient payments online. You can choose to pay using your Dana balance or linked bank cards.
  • Dana PayLater. Enjoy the flexibility of deferred payments with Dana’s PayLater feature.

As said above, the app doesn’t take commissions for most of the operations. It only charges topping up the wallet balance. However, the app’s admin commission here is lowest, compared to other digital wallets. The replenishing options include GoPay, OVO, and ShopeePay. Besides, in the Dana wallet, users can add all their bank cards and vouchers to access them in one place. According to the developers, the app is secure for this purpose.

Some Tips on a Dana Account Registration

Since Dana provides financial services, users are obliged to pass KYC by submitting their name in the same form as it’s typed in their national ID card. Here are the steps to complete registration of a Dana account:

  1. After opening the app, enter your cellphone number on the first registration screen.
  2. Enter a one-time password from an SMS.
  3. Provide your full name according to your ID card.
  4. Make up a Dana PIN using 6 digits. Enter it in the relevant field and then confirm in the field below.
  5. Click ‘Sign Up’ to finish registration.

This is pretty it. As for your name, you must provide your real data, otherwise it will be a violation of the KYC policy. However, when it comes to a mobile number, there are options to avoid receiving spam calls and messages to your actual number. One of the proven methods to bypass it is to obtain a temporary phone number for registrations. Let’s figure out how it works further in the reading.

How to Register Dana without a Phone Number with SMS-Man?

Virtual phone numbers are an effective tool to confirm your identity while keeping your actual mobile number in private. Like a conventional cellular number with a SIM, they allow you to receive an SMS, but expires right after you applied a Dana code (or a one-time password for any other supported platform), ensuring your anonymity.

Among other advantages, purchasing a virtual number on an SMS verification platform doesn’t oblige you to provide a proof of identity. Besides, virtual numbers are able to choose from any geographical location they need, regardless of where they are actually located. Thus, virtual numbers from SMS-Man are a working method to register a Dana wallet outside of Indonesia, since the platform offers 190+ countries, Indonesia included.

With all the above mentioned characteristics, a virtual phone number helps you:

  • Register an anonymous account in most online services — SMS-Man supports 4000+ various platforms.
  • Gain access to platforms and apps that are restricted in your living area or accept only local numbers.
  • Create multiple accounts to utilize them for multi-accounting on online marketplaces or promotion purposes on social networks.

Moreover, virtual numbers for renting are a cost-effective solution, since the price for a one-time number starts from $0.14 per number (the exact cost depends on the service you use it for).
