MTN Uganda Launches API Marketplace

MTN, the leading telecommunications provider in Africa, and Chenosis, a subsidiary of MTN Group, have launched an 'API as a Service' platform to accelerate digital transformation in Africa.

The platform will enable businesses and developers to access a range of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) through a single portal, allowing them to easily integrate MTN's services into their own products and services. The APIs cover a wide range of services, including mobile money, airtime vending, messaging, and voice.

Through this initiative, MTN and Chenosis aim to drive innovation and create new opportunities for businesses and developers in Africa, while also supporting digital inclusion and financial inclusion across the continent.

APIs are essential building blocks for digital innovation and transformation, and the 'API as a Service' platform will make it easier for businesses and developers to access and integrate MTN's APIs into their own systems. This will enable them to create new products and services that can better serve the needs of African consumers and businesses.

In addition to the APIs, the platform also provides documentation, testing tools, and support services to help businesses and developers integrate the APIs into their own systems.

Overall, the 'API as a Service' platform is a significant step forward for MTN and Chenosis in their efforts to accelerate digital transformation in Africa, and it has the potential to drive innovation and create new opportunities for businesses and developers across the continent.
