info:
  title: Mono Account Information Account Linking 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).
