Batch Transactions

The Mobile Money API allows clients to submit, approve and view batches of transactions. The following steps describe an end to end flow for processing batch transactions. Two types of processing modes are supported:

One shot processing without an approver.
Maker/checker approval, i.e. transactions are not completed until approved via a second API request.

The individual APIs that are referenced in the steps below are fully documented in subsequent sub-sections.

Batch Transactions Workflow

One-Shot Batch Processing

Creating a Batch

Client submits the batch for processing via POST /batchtransactions.
The client will return the requestState object indicating whether a callback will be provided or polling is required.
The API provider will parse the batch in order to determine whether the transactions are capable of being processed.
Once parsing has completed, the API provider will set the batch status in the batchTransactions object to ‘completed’.

Verifying a Batch

The client will be able to retrieve the batch transaction object by invoking GET /batchtransactions using the object reference provided by the requestState object. Alternatively, if Callback is specified, the client will receive the representation of the batchTransactions object to their nominated URL set in the X-Callback-URL header.

If errors are indicated, i.e. some of the transactions failed parsing, the client is able to retrieve the errors via GET /batchtransactions/rejections. Successfully completed transactions can be viewed via GET /batchtransactions/completions.

Batch Processing with Maker/Checker

Creating a Batch

Client submits the batch for processing via POST /batchtransactions.
The client will return the requestState object indicating whether a callback will be provided or polling is required.
The API provider will parse the batch in order to determine whether the transactions are capable of being processed.
Once parsing has completed, the API provider will set the batch status in the batchTransactions object to ‘created’.

Verifying a Batch

The client will be able to retrieve the batch transaction object by invoking GET /batchtransactions using the object reference provided by the requestState object. Alternatively, if Callback is specified, the client will receive the representation of the batchTransactions object to their nominated URL set in the X-Callback-URL header.
If errors are indicated, i.e. some of the transactions failed parsing, the client is able to retrieve the errors via GET /batchtransactions/rejections.

Approving a Batch

A client can approve the batch for posting by issuing a PATCH /batchtransactions in order to update the status to ‘approved’.
As per step 2, a requestState object will be returned indicating whether a callback will be provided or polling is required.
The API provider will then post the transactions in the batch considering any scheduling considerations.
Once posting is completed, the API provider will set the batch status in the batchTransactions object to ‘completed’.
The client will be able to retrieve the batchTransactions object by invoking GET /batchtransactions using the object reference provided by the requestState object. Alternatively, if Callback is specified, the client will receive the representation of the batchTransactions object to their nominated URL set in the X-Callback-URL header.

the client will also be able to retrieve a list of successful transaction completions /batchtransactions/completions and transaction failures /batchtransactions/rejections.

Batch Transactions API

This API enables clients to submit and approve a batch of transactions. The API allows transactions of multiple types to be included in a single batch. The following paths are permitted:

Submit a batch: POST /batchtransactions
Approve a batch: PATCH /bathtransactions/{batchID}. The Batch Status needs to be set to ‘approved’.
View details regarding batch processing: GET /batchtransactions/{batchID}

Only asynchronous mode is supported for the POST and PATCH methods. For the GET method, only synchronous mode is supported.

There is a limit of 999,999 transaction records per batch.

Batch Rejections API

This API enables clients to retrieve information on all transactions that have either failed parsing or have failed to complete. Only the GET method is supported. The path is batchtransactions/{batchID}/rejections.

To filter the number of records returned, the following query strings can be used:

Parameter	Type	Format	Description
limit	integer	N/A	Supports pagination. If this is not supplied, then the server will apply a limit of 50 records returned for each request.
offset	integer	N/A	Supports pagination. This value will indicate the cursor position from where to retrieve the set of records. For example, a limit of 50 and offset of 10 will return records 11 to 60.

Accounts APIs

The Accounts APIs are used to support a range of account-related operations. Types of accounts include mobile wallets, bank accounts, savings accounts, and loan accounts.

Identifying a Target Account

Two methods are provided for identifying an account, the single identifier method, and the multiple identifiers method.

Single Identifier Method

In the scenario where one identifier suffices to uniquely identify an account, the following path is to be used: /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}.

Multiple Identifiers Method

Where a single identifier is not sufficient to identify an account, the following path is to be used: /accounts/{accountIdentifier1}@{value1}${accountIdentifier2}@{value2}${accountIdentifier3}@{value3}.

The path uses a ‘$’ delimiter to separate each identifier, up to a limit of three account identifiers. Each key/value is delimited by ‘@’.

The list of permitted account identifiers supported by the Mobile Money API can be found in the Account Identifiers section.

Account Creation

The Mobile Money API allows account creation for customers who are classified as individuals. The creation of a customer account can be triggered by various means including:

Account creation via a mobile money agent.
Automatic account creation upon SIM registration.
App-based self-registration.

Regardless of the method of creation, new customers are generally provided with account and transaction limits based upon the level of KYC information they have provided and whether their KYC information has been physically verified.

To create an account, use POST /accounts/{identityType}, supplying ‘individual’ as the identityType.

Account Retrieval

Account details, including associated account identities can be retrieved via the following paths:

GET /accounts/{accountIdentifierType}/{identifier} OR

GET /accounts/{Account Identifiers}

Account Update

Account-Level Updates

To update information held against an account, use one of the following paths:

PATCH /accounts/{accountIdentifierType}/{identifier} OR

PATCH /accounts/{Account Identifiers}

The following account fields can be updated:

Field	PATCH Body	Description
accountStatus	"op": "replace", "path": "/accountStatus", "value": “string”	Use to modify the status of an account.
accountSubStatus	"op": "replace", "path": "/accountSubStatus", "value": “string”	Use to modify the sub-status of an account.

For more information on the above fields please refer to the Account object.

Identity-Level Updates

To update an information held against an identity associated with an account, use one of the following paths:

PATCH /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}/identities/{identityId} OR

PATCH /accounts/{Account Identifiers}/identities/{identityId}

The following identity fields can be updated:

Field	PATCH Body	Description
identity.identityStatus	"op": "replace", "path": "/identityStatus", "value": “string”	Use to modify the status of an identity associated with an account.

Bills API

The Bills API are used to return all outstanding bills associated with an account. The main purpose of the API is to support Bill Presentment, i.e. presenting all applicable bills for a payer to view and select for payment. To pay a bill, the Bill Payments API is used. Permitted paths are GET /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}/bills or GET /accounts/{Account Identifiers}/bills.

To filter the number of records returned, the following query string parameters can be used:

Parameter	Type	Format	Description
Limit	integer	N/A	Supports pagination. If this is not supplied, then the server will apply a limit of 50 records returned for each request.
offset	integer	N/A	Supports pagination. This value will indicate the cursor position from where to retrieve the set of records. For example, a limit of 50 and offset of 10 will return records 11 to 60.
fromDateTime	string	date-time	Indicates the minimum creationDate for which records should be returned.
toDateTime	string	date-time	Indicates the maximum creationDate for which records should be returned.

Note 1: For a harmonised behavior, API Providers should make sure that the bills are returned in descending date created order.

Links API

The Links APIs are used to establish a link between two separate accounts on the client and provider systems. The API can be used for example to link a mobile wallet account to a Microfinance Institution account or a bank account. The link object does not mandate the processes to verify and authenticate a link request - this depends upon the use case. A link needs to be associated with a mode of operation:

pull. The link can be used by the client to debit the target account held by the provider.
push. The link can be used by the client to credit the target account held by the provider.
both. The link can be used for Push and Pull requests.

To identify the accounts that are to be linked, the target account is specified in the path whereas the source account is specified in the link object.

The permitted paths are as follows:

Creation: POST /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}/links or POST /accounts/{ Account Identifiers}/links.
Update of status and/or mode fields: PATCH /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}/links/{linkReference} or PATCH /accounts/{Account Identifiers}/links/{linkReference}.
Read. GET /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}/links/{linkReference} or GET /accounts/{Account Identifiers}/links/{linkReference}.

Synchronous and asynchronous modes are supported for POST and PATCH methods whereas only synchronous mode is supported for the GET method.

Authorisation Codes API

The Authorisation Codes APIs allow a payer to generate a payment code which when presented to the payee, can be redeemed for an amount associated with the code.

Authorisation codes can be set to expire. Note that expiry time can be specified via the API, however the mobile money provider may mandate a common expiry period for all codes.

Authorisation Codes are used widely in the industry across a range of use cases, including:

ATM Codes for card-less withdrawals. A code is generated in advance by the customer and entered into the ATM to facilitate the withdrawal.
Pre-authorised codes for agent withdrawals. A code is generated in advance by the customer and given to the agent to facilitate the withdrawal.
Pre-authorised codes for merchant payments. The customer generates a code which can be redeemed at a merchant.

Once an authorisation code has been generated, it can be presented through multiple means, including encoding into a QR code. Typically, an authorisation code will expire.

The following paths are permitted:

Generate an Authorisation Code. POST /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}/authorisationcodes or POST /accounts/{Account Identifiers}/authorisationcodes
Cancel an Authorisation Code (codeState = ‘cancelled’). PATCH /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}/authorisationcodes/{authorisationCode} or PATCH /accounts/{Account Identifiers}/authorisationcodes/{authorisationCode}.
View An Authorisation Code for a given account. GET /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}/authorisationcodes/{authorisationCode} or GET /accounts/{Requestor Account Identifiers}/authorisationcodes/{authorisationCode}.
View all Authorisation Codes for a given account. GET /accounts/{identifierType}/{identifier}/authorisationcodes or GET /accounts/{Requestor Account Identifiers}/authorisationcodes.

When retrieving authorisation codes, the following query string parameters can be used to filter the number of records returned:

Parameter	Type	Format	Description
limit	integer	N/A	Supports pagination. If this is not supplied, then the server will apply a limit of 50 records returned for each request.
offset	integer	N/A	Supports pagination. This value will indicate the cursor position from where to retrieve the set of records. For example, a limit of 50 and offset of 10 will return records 11 to 60.
fromDateTime	string	date-time	Indicates the minimum creationDate for which records should be returned.
toDateTime	string	date-time	Indicates the maximum creationDate for which records should be returned.
codeState	string	string	Allows filtering on the state of the authorisation code.

Note 1: For a harmonised behavior, API Providers should make sure that the authorisation codes are returned in descending date created order.

Synchronous and asynchronous modes are supported for the POST and PATCH methods whereas only synchronous mode is supported for the GET method.

Quotations API

The Quotations APIs are used to obtain one or multiple quotes for a mobile money customer that wishes to transfer money. The creation of a quote involves returning any fees that will be levied on the sending customer and if the request is international, the forex rate. A request is made for a quotation by the requesting Service Provider in response to a customer request. The quotation is calculated and returned. If the customer is satisfied with the quotation, then they can confirm and proceed with a transaction request using the /transactions API.

The following paths are permitted:

Creation of a quotation: POST /quotations

View a quotation: GET /quotations/{Quotation Reference}
