  title: Mono API
  description: >-
    Specification of the Mono open-banking API. Mono lets businesses link
    customer bank accounts (Connect) to read transactions, statements,
    identity, income, and balance, and to collect payments via DirectPay
    one-time transfers and Direct Debit mandates. All requests are
    authenticated with the secret application key supplied in the
    mono-sec-key header. Monetary amounts are expressed in the lowest
    denomination of the currency (e.g. kobo for NGN).
