Chimoney is a global payments infrastructure provider that enables businesses, organizations and communities to send bulk payments instantly in over 130 countries. Payouts can be redeemed via bank transfers, mobile money, gift cards, and airtime.

The Chimoney API lets you programmatically send, receive, and collect payments across borders with support for multiple channels including bank accounts, mobile money wallets, gift cards, and airtime.

Through the integration of the Interledger Protocol (ILP), Chimoney also enables interoperable payments across networks. Developers can issue Interledger Wallet Addresses (Payment Pointers) and allow users to send and receive payments globally, powering use cases like Web Monetization and Open Payments.

Here's a video to learn more about the Chimoney API.

Chimoney Community Projects are open-source contributions made by developers, writers, and community members using the Chimoney API. They include SDKs in different programming languages, sample applications, integrations, and technical articles that highlight real-world use cases.

Note: Chimoney Community Projects are built using different programming languages and tech stacks. As a result, each project includes its own setup instructions in its individual README file. Be sure to check the specific README for guidance on running or contributing to that project.

To get started with the Chimoney API, sign up for a developer account at sandbox.chimoney.io. This step-by-step guide will take you through the process of creating an account, generating your API key, and making your first test payout using the sandbox environment. Once your setup is complete, you can begin exploring the Chimoney API, making requests, and building projects with real-world use cases.

Chimoney Community Projects are open to developers, writers and designers who want to build with, write or create around the Chimoney API. You can contribute by submitting:

• SDKs
• integrations
• example apps
• or technical articles showing real-world use cases.

To get started, explore the open issues in this repo or propose your own idea.

When you're ready to make a submission:

• fork the repo
• create a branch
• make your changes
• and open a pull request.

Be sure to include a clear description and follow the project folder structure; all contributions go into the submissions/ directory, with your specific contribution placed in its relevant subfolder, for example:

• Articles in the articles/ folder
• SDKs in the SDKs/ folder

You can also read the full Contribution Guidelines here to understand how to contribute effectively.

Chimoney has participated in Hacktoberfest every year since 2022, welcoming developers, writers, and designers to contribute to our open-source community.

Each October, we create beginner-friendly Hacktoberfest issues to make it easier for first-time and seasoned contributors alike to get involved.

We also offer rewards and recognition for meaningful contributions during Hacktoberfest. To explore our past Hacktoberfest recaps, see how you can get involved, and make the most of contributing to Chimoney's open-source projects, read more here.

Chimoney is participating in Hacktoberfest 2025!✨ This year, along with our existing open-source projects, we’re introducing a brand-new project: IaaS-k8s

As always, we’ll still have open issues available in this repo for contributors of all levels.

To recognize meaningful contributions during Hacktoberfest 2025, we’ll award $10 per substantial contribution (merged PRs that add value). Contributors will also be highlighted on our website and social channels.

“Substantial contributions” include feature additions, integrations, SDKs, or technical articles. Minor edits/fixes or formatting changes are not eligible.
