How it works
Card transaction workflow
Seamless integration with real-time webhook notifications.
Fund your wallet
Fund your business wallet (your pool account) so card payments go through smoothly.
Balance check (free)
When a customer checks their balance at an ATM, we ask your server by webhook. It is free.
Withdrawal or payment
We check your wallet first, then ask your server for the customer's balance. If both are enough, we debit your wallet and tell you to debit the customer. If either fails or times out, nothing is debited.
Transaction processing
Once confirmed, the payment goes through at the ATM, on the POS or online.
Real-time notifications
You get a webhook for every transaction, POS, ATM and online, so you can track every step.
Keep your wallet funded
A payment your wallet cannot cover is declined, with a ₦20 charge per failed transaction.
Important: your webhook must always be reachable and answer within 2 seconds. Keep your wallet funded to avoid the ₦20 charge for insufficient funds on failed transactions.
Dashboard
Powerful control at your fingertips
Manage card programs, monitor transactions and analyse performance from a single interface.
USSD solutions
Reach every customer with USSD
Customers without smartphones or data can check balances, pay and buy airtime from any phone. Here is how a dial works.
Customer dials your code
On any phone and any network, for example *123# or *123*11#. No data needed.
The network sends it to us
We check the code is active and charge the session from your wallet, per 20 seconds.
Your menu answers
Screens you built on the dashboard show straight away. No server needed.
Or your server answers
When a screen hands over to you, we send the session to your endpoint with everything typed so far.
You reply CON or END
CON shows a screen and waits for input; END shows a last message and closes.
Every step is logged
Sessions, charges and replies are on your dashboard. Test first on the phone simulator.
Try it now
This phone runs a menu made with our menu builder. Build yours on the dashboard in minutes, or connect your own backend for live balances and payments.
- Dedicated codes (*123#) or shared codes (*123*11#)
- Menu builder, no code needed, or your own server
- Phone simulator to test before you go live
- Billed per 20 seconds, with every session logged
Press Dial to try *123#
A demo menu built with our menu builder. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Developer experience
Your server approves every card payment
When a customer pays, we ask your server for their balance and you approve or decline. Balance checks are free. Your webhook should answer quickly; if it is slow, you can let us decide from your wallet instead.
Already have your own API? Point us to your endpoints and tell us where the fields are. No need to change your code.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I start issuing cards?
Virtual cards are instant after your account is approved. White-plain physical cards are ready for pickup within 24 to 48 hours. Co-branded cards take 10 to 16 weeks to produce.
What is the difference between white-plain and co-branded cards?
White-plain cards use a ready design and can be picked up straight away, with no BIN onboarding fee. Co-branded cards carry your logo and design. They need BIN onboarding (₦3.5M to ₦5M), a minimum order (1,000 Verve or 2,000 Mastercard) and a financial licence.
What currencies do you support?
USD for virtual Mastercard, and NGN for physical Verve and Mastercard. Other currencies are available for enterprise clients.
How does USSD pricing work?
There is a one-time fee to create your code and link it to your server, then a monthly renewal from your wallet. Each session is charged per 20 seconds.
Are verification calls refunded?
No. BVN, NIN and bank account checks are charged per call from your wallet, whatever the result, and are not refunded.
