Send Money

Credits the mobile money wallet e.g M-pesa, of your customer from the float in your payout account. The customer gets a mobile money SMS confirmation on their phone on receiving the money.

Once completed, it sends an Instant Transaction Notification or webhook event to your callback URL for you to process the transaction.
