Phase 01

The Challenge

Strategic Problem
Statement

African fintechs typically wire together NIMC, NIBSS, MTN MoMo, Airtel, Flutterwave, and numerous other providers by hand — each with its own authentication, schema, and rate limits. This fragmented approach turns every new integration into weeks of plumbing work.

Phase 02

The Solution

Engineering
Execution

Built a normalisation layer that abstracts 40+ regional APIs behind a single RESTful endpoint with unified auth, consistent response schemas, and intelligent rate-limit management. Achieved 4.2ms average gateway latency with 99.98% uptime.
