Coverage
Which channels exist, where, and how to know what your own account can charge.
Two different questions hide behind the word coverage. What the platform supports is this page. What your account can charge today is one API call, because it depends on which providers are connected to you and which channels your team has switched on.

| jq '.items[] | { slug, name, currency, payout, live }'That route is open to every key type, sandbox included, and each entry tells you more than a table
can: payout says whether money can go out that way, charge and collect say which integration
modes work, and live says whether it exists outside sandbox.
Mobile Money
The channel identifier is always country.operator, lowercase, and it is what you put in the
channel field when you want to skip the payment method chooser.

Nigeria has no Mobile Money channel
Nigeria is covered by bank transfer, USSD and wallets instead, in the table further down. If you
are looking for ng.mtn, it does not exist, and a payment naming it is refused.
The marks on each row are the operators with a logo on file, not the full list. The channel column is the authoritative one: every operator in a country appears there, logo or not.
Cards
There is one card channel, and you never name a network. Wajub reads the brand from the number and returns it on the payment.
| Network | Channel to send | How it is resolved |
|---|---|---|
card | From the card number | |
card | From the card number |
American Express, Discover, Diners, JCB and Maestro are recognised the same way where the provider
accepts them. They exist in the catalogue as card.amex, card.discover and so on, but they are
never offered as a choice: they are the answer, not the question.
Wallets and Buy Now Pay Later
Global methods carry no country. Whether they appear at checkout depends on the provider behind them and on the payer's own device.
| Method | Channel | Type |
|---|---|---|
apple_pay | Wallet | |
google_pay | Wallet | |
paypal | Wallet | |
klarna | Buy now, pay later | |
afterpay | Buy now, pay later |
Amazon Pay, Revolut Pay, MobilePay and GrabPay are in the catalogue as amazon_pay,
revolut_pay, mobilepay and grabpay.
Other local methods
Bank transfers, USSD and local wallets, in the countries where they matter more than a card.

Currencies
A currency is not a country, and several of the ones above share one. XOF covers eight West
African markets and XAF covers Central Africa, which is why a payment in Senegal and a payment in
Mali settle into the same balance.
| Currency | Used by |
|---|---|
XAF | Cameroon, Congo, Gabon |
XOF | Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Senegal, Togo |
NGN | Nigeria |
GHS | Ghana |
KES | Kenya |
TZS | Tanzania |
UGX | Uganda |
RWF | Rwanda |
ZMW | Zambia |
MWK | Malawi |
MZN | Mozambique |
CDF | DR Congo |
GNF | Guinea |
LRD | Liberia |
SLL | Sierra Leone |
EGP | Egypt |
ZAR | South Africa |
MAD | Morocco |
TND | Tunisia |
DZD | Algeria |
XAF and XOF have no subunit
Their precision is zero, so 5000 means five thousand francs and there is nothing to convert.
Every currency on the API uses its major unit, and GET /currencies returns the precision of each
one alongside its symbol.
Wajub also settles in the usual reserve currencies and in a long tail of others, which the same endpoint lists in full. The table above is the set you will actually meet in these markets.
Payouts do not follow payments
A country appearing above means money can come in. Money going out is a separate capability, set per
channel, and the catalogue carries it as payout.
curl https://api.wajub.com/channels \
-H "Authorization: sk.kZ3qP8mWvL2xR7tB5nY4hC6dF9jS1aG0eU3i…" \
| jq '[.items[] | select(.payout) | .slug]'Do not assume the answer from this page. A channel that collects beautifully can be payout only through a different operator in the same country, and that is a provider decision rather than a platform one.
When a country is missing
The catalogue is wider than any one account's configuration, and it grows. If the country or the operator you need is not here, write to coverage@wajub.com with the market and your expected volume: the answer is usually about which provider to connect, not about whether it is possible.
