Build financial experiences into anything

The future of fintech is programmable. Our technology is consumed through modular services and APIs — you build the experience, we provide the financial infrastructure underneath it.

Request shape

One call, one settled transaction

A single request carries the entity, the endpoint it presented to, the amount and the terms on which that amount is divided. The split is applied at settlement, not reconciled afterwards by hand.

Examples are illustrative. The published API reference is in preparation.

import { AcaiClient } from '@acai/sdk';

const acai = new AcaiClient({ apiKey: process.env.ACAI_API_KEY });

// A vehicle transacts for road access; the amount is split on settlement.
const transaction = await acai.transactions.create({
  entity: { type: 'vehicle_obu', id: 'obu_4f21c8' },
  endpoint: 'toll_plaza_04',
  amount: 100.0,
  currency: 'INR',
  split: [
    { recipient: 'operator', percent: 60 },
    { recipient: 'infrastructure', percent: 20 },
    { recipient: 'platform', percent: 10 },
    { recipient: 'government_levy', percent: 5 },
    { recipient: 'partner', percent: 5 },
  ],
});

console.log(transaction.id, transaction.status);
Services

Modular services

Consume one capability or the whole path from identity to settlement. Each service is independently callable.

  • 01IdentityVerifiable credentials for people, vehicles, devices and machines.
  • 02AuthenticationBiometric and hardware-key verification at the point of interaction.
  • 03PaymentsMulti-rail switching across UPI, NCMC, cards and wallets.
  • 04Fare calculationZonal, distance and time-of-day fare and tariff resolution.
  • 05Device managementTelemetry, health and key provisioning for connected endpoints.
  • 06Transaction processingEvent processing built for sustained transaction volume.
  • 07SettlementMulti-party revenue splits and clearing.
  • 08ReconciliationThree-way ledger matching and discrepancy handling.
  • 09AI intelligenceAnomaly detection and entitlement verification inside the transaction.
  • 10AnalyticsTransaction telemetry and operator-level reporting.
Build paths

What teams build on it

Four common starting points. Each uses a different subset of the services above.

  • A row of station fare gates fitted with contactless card readers

    A mobility app

    Account-based transit ticketing and city mobility passes.

  • A multi-level highway interchange photographed from the air

    A connected vehicle experience

    In-dash tolling, parking, charging and a fuel wallet.

  • A staffed retail service counter under warm pendant lighting

    An intelligent terminal

    Vision-assisted POS and audio-verified QR acceptance.

  • An electrical substation of switchgear and transmission gantries

    A machine-payment workflow

    Autonomous meter and IoT energy settlement.

You build the experience. We provide the financial infrastructure underneath it.
