Not a generic payments API with Africa as an afterthought. Every feature is designed for the rails, currencies, and regulations that matter here.

Real-time settlement
No batching, no overnight delays. Funds settle in near real-time across all supported corridors.
Locked FX rates
Know your exact rate before you send. No hidden markups — the rate you see is the rate you get.
Auditable ledger
Every movement posts to a provably-correct, double-entry ledger. Reconcile in seconds, not days.
Pan-African reach
Operate across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Uganda, and Tanzania — more coming.

One platform, every payment rail

Whether your customers pay with mobile money, a card, or a bank transfer — Sente normalizes it into one unified ledger.

Merchant checkout

One QR code or deep link accepts mobile money, cards, and bank transfers — settled to your account in near real-time.

Cross-border transfers

Send money between African countries with locked FX rates and full auditability — no correspondent banking delays.

Bill payments

Airtime, data bundles, and utility bills — integrated through provider adapters that plug in without touching the ledger core.
