    Klasha Launches MOMO Payout API: Powering Seamless Mobile Money Disbursements Across Africa

    We are thrilled to announce the launch of our MOMO Payout API, enabling businesses to integrate mobile money disbursements directly into their stores or systems.

    With the new MOMO Payout API, businesses can send mobile money payouts directly to customers, vendors, and partners across multiple African countries using popular mobile money networks, including MTN, Airtel, Orange, Wave, and more.

    Whether you're settling supplier payments, sending customer refunds, or distributing partner commissions, the MOMO Payout API makes mobile money disbursement seamless, secure, and scalable.

    Why the MOMO Payout API Matters

    Cross-border business in Africa depends heavily on mobile money. With over 500 million registered mobile money accounts across the continent, it's essential that businesses can send payments directly to the wallets people already use.

    The MOMO Payout API bridges that need, allowing businesses to send mobile money payouts across African markets, while managing everything from a single, unified system.
