Company & Product Updates
Mono turned 3
We turned three a few weeks ago, and to celebrate this milestone, we got some of our early team members and our CEO to share the Mono journey so far and the ways we have enabled African businesses to innovate for their customers. Watch the video.
Kuda PayID is live on Mono DirectPay!
We’ve added Kuda PayID on the Mono DirectPay widget for Pay with Bank. This new payment authentication method allows users with Kuda bank accounts to instantly make payments to businesses using their phone number and Kuda PayID. Here's how this works.
FCMB Pay with Account is live!
FCMB Pay with Account is now available on the Mono DirectPay widget. This lets your users with FCMB accounts securely make direct payments to your business using just their account number and a one-time password (OTP). Try a demo here.
Mono Lookup endpoints
We have added four new endpoints for the Mono Lookup product. These endpoints help you validate a user’s International passport, house address, National Identification Number (NIN), or the Tax Identification Number (TIN) of an entity.
To enable any of these endpoints for your business, please email us at sales@mono.co.
Billing currency switch
To enable our partners in Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa to conveniently pay for our services, we have added a way for you to switch the billing currency on the dashboard to your preferred local currency.
To do this, navigate to the Billing settings on the dashboard and under the Billing currency section, select which currency you would like to get charged on. After this, all your billing information will also be reflected in your currency of choice. Log in to try this out.
View customer account and transaction data in one place
Under the Accounts tab on the dashboard, we have included a way to easily view the transaction history of a connected account without switching between tabs.
To check this out, navigate to the Accounts module, click on a connected customer account, and select the Transactions tab. Log in to check this out.
