DEVELOPERS

Build on Pouchii Infrastructure.

A consolidated API for accounts, payments, and service aggregation, on rails STSL has operated for Nigerian banks since 1992.

API SURFACE

Three categories. One contract.

Endpoints are grouped into the three things product teams actually need: hold money, move money, deliver services.

Accounts

Programmable virtual accounts on CBN-licensed financial institutions, with reconciliation and reporting built in.

  • Create virtual account
  • List accounts
  • Retrieve balance
  • Webhook: account credited

Payments

Inter-bank and intra-bank transfers across every Nigerian institution, with signed webhooks for state changes.

  • Initiate transfer
  • Retrieve transfer status
  • List transfers
  • Webhook: transfer settled

Service aggregation

Airtime, data, utilities, bills, lending, and insurance behind a single integration.

  • Purchase airtime / data
  • Pay utility bill
  • Quote and bind insurance
  • Initiate loan disbursement
