Mansa African Financial Reference Data tools (6)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsget_currencyFreeReturn the ISO 4217 record for a currency: its code, name, symbol, how many decimal places it uses, and every country that uses it.
get_public_holidaysFreeReturn the public holidays for a country and calendar year, with each holiday's date, name and type. Names are returned in English wherever the country publishes it; pass a language code for others (Kenya also publishes Swahili).
list_banksFreeList every bank and financial institution held for a country, with its bank code, SWIFT/BIC, USSD shortcode and mobile-money flag. Use this to build a bank picker or to reconcile a list of institutions.
lookup_bankFreeIdentify an African bank from any identifier you hold: its name, domestic sort/bank code, SWIFT/BIC code, or USSD shortcode. Works as a reverse lookup, so pass a bare SWIFT code like 'NLCBTZTX' to find out which institution it belongs to. Returns the bank's name, country, type, bank code, SWIFT/BIC, USSD shortcode and whether it supports mobile money.
lookup_phone_networkFreeResolve an African phone number to its mobile network operator from the number's prefix. Accepts local or international format. Useful for routing a mobile-money payout to the right provider or validating a number before sending an OTP.
resolve_nubanFreeWork out which Nigerian banks a 10-digit NUBAN account number could belong to. The CBN check digit is computed from the bank code plus the first nine digits, so testing the number against every bank code narrows a shortlist without contacting any bank. Typically reduces ~30 banks to ~3. This confirms checksum validity only: it does NOT confirm the account exists, and it never returns the account holder's name, which requires a licensed NIBSS account-name enquiry.

Worth knowing
resolvenuban confirms checksum validity only**. The CBN NUBAN check digit is derived from the bank code plus the first nine digits of the account number, so testing a number against every bank code narrows down where it could be held — without contacting any bank.
It does not confirm that an account exists, and it never returns an account holder's name. That requires a licensed NIBSS account-name enquiry.
