    Public sandbox is live

    The Sente Rails sandbox now serves real /v1 traffic against staged MoMo, EFRIS, and Pesapal adapters. Bring your own integration code and call the rail end-to-end.

What you can build

Three primitives. Every government fee in Uganda.

Identity

Look up citizens by NIN and businesses by URSB number. One request, two registries, scoped to your integration.

How identity works

Assess + Pay

Compute multi-MDA fees, then take payment via MoMo, Airtel, Pesapal, or card. One API, every channel.

Payment recipes

Audit + Settle

Per-call audit trail. Settlement routes direct to each MDA's treasury account. The rail never holds public money. PFMA §43.

The architecture addresses the seven Ugandan frameworks integration with government revenue must satisfy. The rail never holds public money — settlement routes direct to each MDA's treasury account.
