    One API, every way to move money

    Compose the building blocks you need, from a single checkout to terminals, payouts and global rails.

    Accept payments

    Cards, bank transfers, USSD and QR, via hosted Checkout or the charge API.

    Transfers

    Pay out to any Nigerian bank account or move funds wallet-to-wallet, instantly.

    Virtual accounts

    Issue dedicated NGN account numbers for collections and easy reconciliation.

    Terminals

    Accept in-person card and contactless payments from inside your own app.

    Bills, airtime & data

    Vend airtime and data, and pay electricity, cable TV and betting bills.

    Global payout & collections

    Cross-border transfers, FX conversion and DRC mobile-money inflows.

    Transactions

    Fetch, filter and reconcile your full transaction history programmatically.

    Webhooks

    Real-time event notifications with automatic retries and replay.

    From zero to your first payment, fast

    Authenticate, send one request, and you’re charging. The same clean REST API works in any language. Pick your stack and copy the snippet.

    • Predictable JSON, real HTTP status codes
    • Sandbox keys and test cards out of the box
    • Webhooks for every payment and transfer event
