Tazamatch is coming soon. The APIs listed here are for reference only and are not yet available in production or sandbox.
This page walks through how to use Tazamatch via API. For full request and response schemas, and error codes, refer to the API Reference > TazaMatch.
Step 1 → Check corridor capability
Before submitting a verification, confirm that the target corridor is supported and retrieve the required fields.
GET/v3/verification/payee/metadata
Pass the destination country, currency, and bank. The response returns:
- Whether the corridor is supported
- Required bank fields and bank codes
- Required payee fields (including whether tax_id is needed)
- Capabilities supported for that corridor (name check, name return)
If the corridor is not supported, the response will indicate so. Do not proceed with a verification request for unsupported corridors.
See full schema in API Reference > TazaMatch > Fetch Verification Metadata
Step 2 → Submit a verification
POST/v3/verify/payee
Choose the mode that fits your workflow:
Mode A → Standalone
Pass account details directly. No beneficiary object is created.
Mode B → Inline with new beneficiary
Pass verify: true when creating a new beneficiary. Verification runs as part of the same call.
Mode C → Existing beneficiary
Pass a beneficiary_id to verify a payee already stored in Tazapay.
All three modes return a verification object with a pyv_xxxx ID and an initial status of pending.
See full schema in API Reference > TazaMatch > Create Verification
Step 3 → Retrieve the result
Fetch a specific verification
GET/v3/verification/payee/{id}
Pass the pyv_xxxx ID returned in Step 2. Poll this endpoint until the status resolves to a terminal state (valid, invalid, or not_supported).
