THE POWER OF APIs IN TECH

When setting up a bill payment platform, you’ll definitely employ the use of an API to ensure seamless integration of the platform.

An API, simply put, is an Application Programming Interface. It serves as a messenger on the web, allowing different platforms to communicate and work with one another. For instance, the Central Bank of Nigeria has APIs built to enable local banks to connect to their services, and telecommunications companies have APIs built to enable local vendors’ websites to plug into their services.
