Device Locking & EMI Locker Software for Financed Smartphones

You Can't Collect From a Phone You Can't See

Financed smartphones are good revenue right up until someone stops paying. Loksiz is EMI locker software for NBFCs, telecom operators and mobile retailers: it locks the device when EMIs go unpaid, runs the chase for you, and gets the money back — without hiring three more people for EMI collection.

-- Lenders · telecom operators · fintechs · retailers — basically anyone financing handsets across more than one market.

-- THE CHALLENGE

Nobody Plans for the Default

A financed device is two things at once — a sale and a loan. Most companies are great at the first part and not really set up for the second: what happens when a borrower goes dark and the device is still out there, fully working, with nothing tying it to the fact that payments stopped. That's how EMI defaults quietly pile up.

That's basically the whole reason this exists. From enrollment to final payment — or recovery, if it comes to that — you get visibility into what's actually happening, automation for the stuff that doesn't need a human, and a real way to enforce repayment — a mobile EMI lock tied to the loan — instead of just sending email number four.

How EMI Device Locking Works

01
Enroll the financed device
Enroll the Device :

API or Android SDK, right at the point of financing. No batch upload at the end of the day.

STEP 01
02
Track EMI payments
Track Payments :

Live monitoring, reminders that go out on their own, across whatever channel borrowers actually check.

STEP 02
03
Detect risk before an EMI default
Catch Trouble Early :

Risk signals before the missed payment turns into a write-off — not after.

STEP 03
04
Lock the phone on EMI default
Lock on Default :

Past your threshold, access is gone. No site visit required.

STEP 04
05
Unlock the phone automatically after payment
Unlock on Recovery :

Balance clears, access comes back — automatically, or with one click if you'd rather control that part.

STEP 05

Device Financing Risk Management, in One Platform

Onboarding, payments, risk, recovery — one place instead of three tools that don't talk to each other.
Money stops, phone stops. That's basically the whole feature — and it's the one that matters most.
Reminders and escalation that run themselves — so nobody's manually dialing through a spreadsheet at 6pm.
Enrollment to closure, tracked the whole way — payment or recovery, whichever happens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions that come up most.

An EMI locker is software on a financed smartphone that links the phone to its loan. If EMIs stay unpaid beyond the overdue period in the loan agreement, the lender can restrict the phone remotely, and it unlocks automatically once the dues are paid. Loksiz is EMI locker software for NBFCs, telecom operators and mobile retailers, with payment reminders, risk monitoring and recovery built in.
It's the ability to restrict a borrower's access to a financed smartphone once their EMIs are overdue beyond the period set in the loan agreement — creating a direct, enforceable link between using the device and staying current on the loan.
Live payment monitoring, behavioral risk analysis, and device-level control all sit in one system — so you can spot problems early, communicate clearly, and step in when it's needed.
Yes — once the outstanding balance clears, access is restored, either automatically based on your rules or with a manual trigger.
Yes. Integration runs through REST API and Android SDK, so deployment doesn't depend on ripping out your existing stack.
Yes, within limits. Under RBI's August 2026 directions, a lender may restrict a device only when the loan was used to buy that device and the loan agreement explicitly allows it. Restrictions can start only after the account is at least 30 days overdue, incoming calls, SMS and emergency SOS must keep working, and every restriction must be lifted within one hour of the dues being cleared. Loksiz lets you set overdue periods and restriction steps to match your policy — confirm the details with your compliance team.
