Request Finance

Request Finance is a crypto and fiat invoicing, payments, and payroll platform that lets businesses issue invoices, accept payments in crypto and fiat, pay contractors and employees, and manage accounts payable and receivable. Its Accounts Payable and Receivable (AP/AR) REST API lets developers programmatically create and send invoices, run off-chain and on-chain payroll payments, track invoice status without polling blockchains or bank accounts, manage organizations and clients, and download invoice PDFs. Invoices are settled through the Request Network protocol across many EVM chains and stablecoins, with crypto-to-fiat settlement via banking partners. The API uses Bearer authentication (API keys for quick starts, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC via Auth0 for production), real-time webhooks with HMAC-signed payloads, and a Sepolia testnet sandbox. Request Finance is backed by Balderton Capital.

Request Finance publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: AP and AR API. Tagged areas include Company, Payments, Invoicing, Crypto, and Web3.

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

Request Finance’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, authentication, sandbox, and 19 more developer resources.
