Fiatsend Overview

Fiatsend is a payments-first mobile money platform powered by web3 rails. Built on stablecoins running on Lisk Mainnet, Fiatsend enables businesses and individuals to send, receive, and convert digital currency to and from mobile money — with Ghana as the primary market. The platform operates on a B2B2C model: businesses integrate Fiatsend to power reliable local payments for their customers, agents, and merchants.

Whether you are an engineer building on the Fiatsend API, a compliance officer evaluating the platform's KYC tiers, or a partner exploring integration, these docs will walk you through everything you need to get started.
