Platform

Everything a VTU business needs behind the counter.

eData Plug handles the hard parts of moving value — so you can focus on your customers, pricing and brand.

Airtime-to-Cash API

OTP, session and conversion endpoints with server-side rates, limits and idempotent references.

Signed webhooks

Real-time events for every state change, HMAC-signed with automatic retries and delivery logs.

Double-entry ledger

Every confirmed conversion is posted once to an immutable ledger. Corrections are reversals, never edits.

Choose your settlement

Be settled to your eData Plug wallet, or receive the airtime directly on your own SIM.

Team & permissions

Invite staff, assign granular roles and require two-factor authentication for your whole team.

Test environment

A full simulator with test keys, so you can build and QA your integration without real money.

Also on the platform: airtime, data, cable TV and electricity (VTU) through the same API, plus SIM infrastructure management: register your devices and SIMs and monitor their health. Running operations through hosted SIMs is on the roadmap.
