Consumer Mobile Money Deposit
This API allows consumers to deposit money into a merchant's account using mobile money. The customer authorizes the payment via a USSD/STK push prompt to enter their mobile money PIN, which completes the transfer of value from their wallet to a business or merchant shortcode. The Tanda I/O RESTful API fully supports this payment channel.
