Why operators choose it

Everything a world-class gateway does, run by you.

Your brand, your rules

Your name, logo and colours on every page. You approve each business, set fees by method or by business, and decide payout times and reserves.

Every way people pay

Mobile money, cards through your acquirer, your own wallet and bank transfers, on one page that shows each shopper the methods of their country.

Money you can prove

A business is credited only when the provider confirms, always net of the fee. Every event is signed; every payout lists the payments inside it.

Live in weeks

The gateway, back office, merchant portal, developer portal and plugins are built. You connect your rails and launch, country by country.

Ways to accept

One gateway, four ways for a business to get paid.

Built for how people pay

A checkout that feels local, wherever the shopper is.

The page opens in the shopper's language, shows the methods of their country first and pushes the payment prompt straight to their phone. No account, no app to install.

For developers

A checkout in one call. Proof in one signature.

Businesses create a checkout with a publishable key, send the shopper to the page and confirm with a signed event. Test keys work in a sandbox that never touches real money.

  • Test and live keys, rotated in the developer portal
  • Idempotency keys on every write, replies kept 48 hours
  • Signed webhooks with a timestamp, retried for 24 hours
  • OpenAPI spec, console, logs and a go-live checklist

Your back office

Your team sees every payment, business and payout.

Approve businesses, set fee rules, follow success rates by method, answer disputes, release payouts and export reports, from one back office with roles, two-step sign-in and an audit log.

Trust

Built to be trusted with other people's money.

Card data stays with your acquirer

Cards are taken on the acquirer's secure page with 3-D Secure. Saved cards are the acquirer's tokens: no card number is stored on the platform.

Confirmed before credited

A payment counts only when the provider confirms it. Notices that are not signed or not from the provider's addresses go to review, never to a balance.

Signed, replay-safe events

HMAC-SHA256 signatures with a timestamp, a delivery id for duplicates, and a five-minute window.

Repeat-safe API

Every payment, refund and payout accepts an idempotency key, so a retry never charges or pays twice.

Screening and records

Sanctions screening, AML rules and alerts, and a full audit trail of who did what and when.

Two-step sign-in and roles

Back office, merchant and developer portals with roles, step-up checks for sensitive actions, and lockout.

A clear price for you. Your own price for your merchants.

Questions

Questions operators ask

Who buys the payment gateway?

Banks, telcos, fintechs and payment providers that want to offer online payments to businesses under their own brand. Businesses sign up with you, not with us.

Do we need a payments licence?

You need the right to collect and pay out money in each country, either your own licence or a licensed partner. We help you map the route in the proposal.

Which payment methods are included?

Your wallet if you run one, mobile money, cards through your card acquirer, and bank transfers. Adapters for the main mobile money rails ship with the platform; others are connected on agreement.

Can it run without your mobile money product?

Yes. The gateway is a separate product with its own price. It runs on its own, or alongside our mobile money and remittance products.

How fast can we launch?

The software is ready. Launch time depends on your rail agreements and licences; a first country is usually live in weeks, not months.

Where is it hosted?

In our cloud or yours, in the region you choose, so you can meet data residency rules.
