Afriex

Afriex is a cross-border payments and remittance company that moves money between Africa, North America, Europe and Asia. Its consumer app handles person-to-person remittances, while the Afriex Business API gives companies programmatic access to the same rails: customer onboarding and KYC, payment methods across bank accounts, mobile money, SWIFT, UPI, Interac and USDC/USDT crypto wallets, multi-currency wallet balances and real-time FX rates, deposits, withdrawals and in-wallet currency swaps, hosted checkout sessions, virtual and pool collection accounts, and RSA-signed webhooks for transaction lifecycle events. The API is documented with an OpenAPI 3.1 contract, a first-party TypeScript SDK, and a hosted remote MCP server that exposes the same surface to AI agents.

Afriex publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Balance API, Checkout Sessions API, Customers API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Payments, Remittances, Cross-Border Payments, Fintech, and Financial Services.

The Afriex catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Afriex’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, engineering blog, authentication, sandbox, and 22 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/afriex: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
