Ultraner Payouts

Live

Money out, quoted before it moves.

Every payout is quoted by the same code that charges you, so the figures cannot disagree with what happens. Every withdrawal over the API carries a named person's signature as well as the business key.

What it does

Pay into mobile money wallets, and settle your balance to your own bank account.

Two ways money leaves Ultraner. Disbursement pays someone else's mobile money wallet, live in Tanzania. Settlement moves your balance to your own bank account by wire, to your own bank account, in any country.

Pay a wallet

Send to a mobile money number. Live in Tanzania, with more markets opening one verified rail at a time.

Settle to your bank

Move your balance to your own account by wire, to your own bank account, in any country, in any currency.

Quote first

Fees, FX and what lands are known before you commit.

Safe retries

An Idempotency-Key makes a timed-out request safe to send again.

Questions

Why two kinds of payout?

Settlement to your own bank is a wire and works everywhere. Paying someone's wallet needs a payout rail in that market, and each rail is verified before it is switched on.

Why a signature as well as a key?

A key identifies a business, not a person. The signature puts a name against every payout and is re-checked against that person's access on every call.
