Interswitch has unveiled its easy-to-integrate Application Programmable Interfaces (API) Platform for developers creating digital products and solutions for Africans.
The unveiling event was held in Lagos, where developers were
intimated with the benefits of integrating Interswitch APIs on their products.
The API Platform comprises Internal APIs, Partner APIs, and Infrastructure
APIs; designed to empower Africa’s digital ecosystem. It also serves as a
one-stop shop for innovators in the tech ecosystem who seek to build viable,
market-fit products that address local needs.
Over time, Interswitch has continued to champion the
development of the continent’s technology ecosystem through strategic
partnerships and the democratization of developer and business integration
tools that help tech creators and small business owners produce market-ready
products within a short period.
Speaking at the event, the managing director, Paymate,
Interswitch Group, Muyiwa Asagba, stated that the tech company remained focused
on providing digitally empowering products for developers and business owners
who are crafting solutions for the everyday African.
Asagba said: “for two decades, Interswitch has consolidated
its efforts in its support for the growth of the African tech ecosystem by
availing developers with valuable resources that enable them to build
commercially viable products with ease.
“Away from that, we also take seriously the need to innovate
so as to stay ahead of the pack, which is a core part of who we are as an
evolving technology brand.”
The business development manager for merchant acquisition at
Interswitch, Sunday Olaniyan said, the company has introduced a referral system
to reward developers who refer merchants to use its APIs.
According to Olaniyan, developers will earn five per cent of
every transaction fee that Interswitch charges on their referred merchants for
five years. This is one of many planned incentives aimed at fostering
innovation and supporting the creative economy.
Also, group head, Engineering, Paymate, Interswitch,
Abdul-Hafiz Ibrahim, noted that, “launching our API Platform was driven by the
need to make API integration seamless for developers without the bureaucratic
hurdles that have characterized the API-integrating system over the past few
years.
“Not only are we making products and solutions development
faster, but we are also creating an interface where developers can communicate,
share ideas and offer solutions at an accelerated pace.”
To expand its goal of creating a sustainable African tech
hub, Interswitch remains a firm supporter of initiatives that spur
conversations around the evolution of the Nigerian, and in general, African
tech ecosystem. This was expressed in its recent support of the Nigerian
Fintech Forum where seasoned experts across sectors including Fintechs, telcos,
and bank were in.
Mike Tyson does not appear to think Anthony Joshua has a
good chance of defeating Oleksandr Usyk in their upcoming rematch.
The Brit will fight the Ukrainian a second time next
Saturday in an effort to reclaim the WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight world titles
that he lost to him the previous year.
Many believe AJ will face a difficult challenge in the
rematch. Usyk decisively prevailed in the first match, but Joshua has
overhauled his entire training staff in an effort to turn the tide.
"It's gonna be hard to beat him," Tyson said on a
recent Instagram live. "It's gonna be hard to beat Usyk because he's fast
and he outpunched Joshua with his jab."
"Joshua has to learn to deal with his jab. That's the
only thing he couldn't handle, he couldn't handle his jab and his
movement," added Tyson.

"He's a powerful puncher, but he's not as accurate -
you've gotta be accurate against a guy like that. Because he moves so much, the
jab is educated and he just outsmarts the guy," he finished.
Tyson also talked about Spence vs Crawford
If their undisputed welterweight world title match takes
place later this year, Mike Tyson has picked Terence Crawford to defeat Errol
Spence.
The four belts in their division will be united when the two
top American 147-pound fighters finally square off.
Tyson analyzes each fighter's advantages and disadvantages in great detail, but he ultimately makes his choice. Mike Tyson has chosen Terence Crawford to defeat Errol Spence if their undisputed welterweight world title match does occur later this year.
