  title: Kora (Korapay) Merchant Balances Misc API
  description: 'The Kora merchant REST API for pan-African payments. It supports pay-ins (card, bank transfer, mobile money, pay-with-bank), payouts (single, bulk, remittance), NGN and USD virtual bank accounts, balances, refunds, multi-currency conversion, and payout utilities (bank / mobile-money lookups and account resolution). All requests are authenticated with API keys - a public key for client-side charge initiation and a secret key (Bearer) for server-side and financial operations - and each account has separate Test and Live mode keys. Card charge payloads must be AES-256 encrypted with your encryption key. Webhook notifications carry an `x-korapay-signature` header that is an HMAC SHA-256 of the response `data` object signed with your secret key.

    This document is a representative, grounded subset of the public Kora API. Request and response schemas are simplified; consult the Kora developer documentation for the authoritative field-level contract. Endpoints are confirmed against Kora''s published documentation except where a description notes an inferred path.'
