Platform Capabilities

One platform, every digital service

Airtime, data, bills, USSD, SMS, email, and more — on isolated, secure infrastructure with intelligent routing and provider failover.

Infrastructure & Platform

Isolated Data Architecture

Every business gets its own dedicated database. Zero data leakage — complete separation at the infrastructure level.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Encrypted credentials at rest, full audit trails, double-entry bookkeeping, and role-based access control.

Direct Provider Integrations

Hook directly into telcos, DISCOs, GENCOs, and other service providers. No middleman — lower costs, faster settlement, full control.

White-Label Everything

Your brand, your domain, your landing page. Every touchpoint — from dashboard to API docs — carries your identity.

API-First Architecture

RESTful APIs with key-pair auth, webhooks, and sandbox environments. Your merchants integrate once and go live fast.

Merchant Tiers & Limits

Control who can do what. Transaction limits, rate limiting, tiered pricing, and granular permissions per merchant.

Digital Services

Airtime, Data & SME Bundles

Sell airtime and data across all major networks. Automatic routing, provider failover, and SME bulk data plans.

Bill Payments & Collections

Process utilities, cable TV, subscriptions, and custom bills. Accept payments via your own branded API — let others pay through you.

USSD, SMS & Messaging

Plug into USSD and SMS channels to reach users without internet. Enable notifications, OTPs, and transactional messaging.

Email Service Provider

Offer email sending as a service. Transactional emails, bulk campaigns, and deliverability — all through your branded API.

Developer Experience

Integrate in minutes, not months

A clean REST API with test mode, idempotency keys, and webhook notifications. Your merchants can go from API key to first transaction in under 30 minutes.

  • Key-pair authentication with test and live modes
  • Automatic provider failover — no code changes needed
  • Webhook notifications for every transaction state change
  • Idempotency keys to prevent duplicate purchases

What our partners say

We went from zero to processing airtime transactions in under a week. The merchant API documentation was clear enough that our developers integrated it on the first day.

Tunde A.

CTO, Digital services startup

The database-per-tenant isolation was the deciding factor. Our clients in financial services need that level of data separation, and StaqUp delivers it out of the box.

Chioma O.

Head of Engineering, Fintech platform

Provider failover alone saved us from three outages last month. When MTN's API went down, StaqUp automatically routed through Baxi without our users noticing a thing.

Emeka N.

Operations Lead, Mobile services company
