Instantly

Mobile money API client built on top of BROKER. Yh the name is misleading becuase mobile money transfers have never been that instant. I believe we will get there soon.

Motivation

I have been building apps that need mobile money integration and I realise I will probably be doing a lot of repetitive work all the time. Instantly hopes to solve that problem for me and for you too. One API for all my mobile money integrations built on top of SMSGH's BROKER
