Chapa Developer Collection – April 2025 Edition

Selam Chapists, here we go—another month, another release of powerful tools for developers and businesses building with Chapa.

From enabling instant payouts to bringing AI into the hands of every merchant, April has been about making financial operations more seamless, intelligent, and developer-friendly.

Here’s what shipped this month:

🔐 Multiple Sessions & Activity History

You can now log in from multiple devices and monitor all your activity across sessions. Whether you’re switching between environments or auditing actions, visibility is just a tap away.

🏦 Free Merchant Accounts for Payouts

We’re introducing merchant accounts at no cost for eligible businesses. These accounts make payouts smoother, faster, and easier to manage—no more relying on external setups.

🤖 Chapi is Now Live

Chapi, your AI business assistant, is officially live on the Chapa Merchant App. Ask questions like “What’s my sales growth this week?” or “How many payouts failed today?” and get instant, intelligent responses powered by our fine-tuned models.

🔁 B2B Transfers by Merchant ID

Send funds to another business instantly using just their Merchant ID. Whether you’re paying suppliers or other branches, B2B just became plug-and-play.

💳 Fund Your Available Balance

Businesses running high-volume payouts can now fund their Available Balance directly, for free. No delays, no extra steps—just uninterrupted payouts.

💱 FX Swap is Here

Received payments in USD, EUR, or GBP? Now you can swap your balance to ETB or other supported currencies directly from your dashboard. No back-and-forths. No calls. Just swap.

⚡ Instant Payout for Eligible Merchants

Waiting 24 hours for ledger settlements? With Instant Payout, eligible merchants can access incoming funds instantly and keep cash flowing without delay.

🏆 We Won the SuperNova Challenge

We’re honored to be the winners of the SuperNova Challenge. This recognition goes out to the builders, the dreamers, and the Chapa community who continue to push what’s possible in African fintech.

That’s it for April.

We’ll be back next month with more updates. Until then, keep building, keep shipping.
