Build Cross-Border Payment Products on Cedar’s Infrastructure

Cedar enables financial institutions, fintechs, payment providers, and regulated partners to access compliant global payment rails across Africa and international markets through one API, or a partner dashboard that needs no integration.

Dashboard interface of Cedar Partners API documentation showing introduction, key features like seamless API integration and secure transactions, and a sidebar menu with sections for getting started, development tools, and API documentation.

Choose your integration path

Start on the dashboard, move to the API when you're ready, or run both.

JavaScript example using the Cedar Partners API: create a USDC-funded payout to a supplier's USD bank account with POST /v1/sendc2f/, then approve the quote to lock the rate and receive the deposit wallet address.
