is there a possibility of integrating local Mobile payments api ? i tried to read the documents but could not find anything related to Mobile payments in the Collect API with local service providers. e.g in our country Uganda the common methods of payments is mobile could that be implemented.even most payment Methods are not optimized for our country in the Collect API.
Hi @codeaxen, Rapyd does have of local mobile payments. To clarify it looks like you are asking about any local payment methods rather than integrating the Collect API for a mobile experience (Rapyd can do both).
List like as of now you can do bank transfers to payout workers in Uganda. This would be something like doing business in Uganda from a South African company.
However it looks like you may not be able to sign up for a business with Rapyd in Uganda.
Do you know of any big companies in Uganda that would accept the mobile payment methods you’re talking about?

we have MTN and AIRTEL those are the main companies we have here among others…
i can prepare their api but am not sure how rapyd would communicate with thiers maybe u could give me some light here
and another thing maybe Card payments can work here but rarely people use bank transfers
main easy Payment methods are :
1 - card
2 - mobile
if we can find away of integrating Rapyd with mobile payment would be really great here. it would really increase traffic
Hi @codeaxen, as far as communication with MTN and AIRTEL, a partnership would need to be made. Of course those take agreements on both parties.
As far as your comments of integrating Rapyd with mobile payment methods, this is more about what payment methods are offered in Uganda.
i think you would need an agent here to help initiate that.
