Banks

We provide all available banks from our currently supported countries with the list of banks API. You can fetch all banks with a simple GET request: 
$ curl https://api.busha.co/v1/banks
A bank account is held by a bank or financial institution, allowing users to deposit, withdraw, and transfer funds. Bank accounts are integrated to facilitate fiat currency transactions, enabling users to move money between their traditional bank and their crypto wallet.

​
Bank Account Verification for Payouts

  • Linking a Bank Account: Users can add and verify their local bank account as a destination for payout.
Verify Bank Accounts with the resolve bank account endpoint before initiating a payout: 
$ curl https://api.busha.co/v1/recipients/resolve-bank-account \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "currency_id": "NGN",
  "country_id": "NG",
  "channel": "mobile_money",
  "bank_code": "000013",
  "account_number": "0123456789"
}'

Addresses

Addresses functions like a bank account number but is specific to cryptocurrencies. Each blockchain network (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc.) has its own format for crypto addresses. For example:
  • Bitcoin (BTC) Address: bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf82t9
  • Ethereum (ETH) Address: 0x89205A3A3b2A69De6Dbf7f01ED13B2108B2c43e7

​
Generating Wallet Addresses:

  • When a user creates an account on Busha, a unique crypto address is assigned to their wallet for each supported cryptocurrency.
  • These addresses are generated using blockchain standards like BIP-44 (for Bitcoin and similar assets) or ERC-20 (for Ethereum-based tokens).

​
Receiving Digital Tokens:

  • Users can share their crypto address with others to receive payments or token transfers.
  • The sender initiates a transaction by entering the recipient’s crypto address in their wallet and confirming the transfer.
  • The blockchain processes the transaction and updates the balance once confirmed.

​
Verifying an Address for Payout:

To specify a cryptocurrency destination address when purchasing crypto via the Busha API, validate the address using a separate API request prior to the purchase transaction. This ensures the address is valid for the selected cryptocurrency and network. 
$ curl https://api.busha.co/v1/validate \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Accept: */*' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "type": "address",
  "address": "tb1qj4263506wyu8khr22dwce0agk8lhyjgy269rxr",
  "currency": "BTC",
  "network": "BTC",
  "memo": "memo"
}'
