Bank Account Verification in Senegal

Verify a Senegalese mobile-money account and retrieve the account holder's name before initiating a transfer.

Senegal account verification routes through the mobile-money operator's network. Most accounts in the Senegalese market are held with Orange Money.

Prerequisites

You'll need an API key. See Quickstart or Authentication if you don't have one yet.

Note: Verification endpoints use an API key in the X-API-Key header — not a Bearer token.

Make the verification request

curl -X POST https://api.lira.com/api/v1/verify/account \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "accountNumber": "5000000001",
    "country": "SN",
    "bankCode": "ORANGE"
  }'

Request body fields

Note: mode: "async" is not supported for Senegal in v1. All SN verifications are synchronous.
