MOSST allows users to make money transfers between cards of any Ukrainian banks.[2] Users can transfer money without pre-registration.[2]

The system allow money to be sent in four different ways:

  • Using MOSST-tag (a unique user name in the system)
  • Directly to another user's card
  • By e-mail address
  • By mobile phone number

The last three options do not require registration. When money is sent to an email or mobile phone number, the recipient receives a unique code to complete the transaction. Recipients choose the bank card to receive a transfers themselves. The sender does not need to know the number of the recipient's bank card, which greatly simplifies the transfer process.[7]

After sending the transfer, the recipient receives a message stating that the money is waiting for them. MOSST Premium account users have access to additional features of the program: biometric face or fingerprint recognition on mobile devices, the history of transactions, saved receipts and bank cards This allows a user to skip entering 16-digit bank card number and card information.[2]
