A street-rate feed for the payment products you build in Africa

The rate your users pay is not the rate on the screen

In many African markets the official rate and the street rate sit far apart, and your users price everything by the street rate. If your wallet, checkout or payout flow quotes only the official figure, your margins and your customers' trust suffer. You need a feed you can call from code, that tells you how much to rely on each figure.

Questions from developers

How is the street rate different from the official rate?

The official rate is the one set or published by the authorities. The street rate is what people actually pay when they exchange cash or move value against the US dollar or USDT. EMpulse reports the street rate and labels it clearly.

How do I know how far to trust a figure?

Every figure comes with a confidence class and the number of sources behind it. You can read those fields in your code and decide how your product should behave.

How do I get started?

Create a free key, then call the REST endpoint or download a CSV. Start with the rate itself, and add more fields later on the Starter or Pro plan.

Which currencies are covered?

Coverage keeps growing. The index pages show the African currencies available today, each with its confidence and source count.

Is this investment advice?

No. It is a reference rate for pricing and display in your product, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
