With this service, the calling apps can open a wallet on behalf of a customer. Apps may collect BVN as an input or not. But at a minimum, apps will need to collect customer details and forward to OnePipe. If BVN is required, it would be passed in as part of authorization details. OnePipe will in turn forward to the provider’s dedicated implementation. This service may use OTP to confirm the account opening request from the customer.

Before you proceed: Please read this.

Commercial model

At agreed settlement cycles, the host will debit the configured beneficiary account of the app for the use of this API and share that fee with all participants. Fees will be determined by the provider.

Special configuration notes

OTP override: All providers of this service should implement OTP, but support the configuration of otp_override such that based on this configuration, they could be instructed to bypass the OTP requirement for an app.
SMS handler: All providers that need to do OTP validation can use the Send SMS and Send Email services on OnePipe to send their OTP.

Invoice	The host client will invoice the calling app periodically for all calls to the endpoint.

Process flows

Sequence of calls

App calls /transact with the right auth details (if supplied)
Provider responds with WaitingForOTP or PendingValidation (if required)
App calls /transact/validate to supply OTP if needed
Provider responds with any of the completion codes Successful or Failed.
To query the status of a transaction, the app can call /transact/query
Where the provider supports it, the app can call /transact/reverse to request a reversal
