NADD API provides secure, programmable access to NADD payment and settlement infrastructure for banks, payment service providers, digital wallets, exchanges, merchant platforms, treasury systems, and enterprise applications.
NADD AI, called Endola, adds a verified financial intelligence layer to NADD Pay on WhatsApp. It helps users understand balances, recent activity, alerts, insights, recommendations, financial health scores, cash-flow indicators, business activity, and FinBox items using verified NADD Pay records.
NADD Pay applies a straightforward transfer fee policy designed to keep payments affordable, transparent, and easy to understand. All applicable fees are calculated automatically and displayed before a transaction is authorized.
Wallet-to-wallet transfers initiated through NADD Pay on WhatsApp are charged a fee of 0.5% of the transfer amount, subject to a minimum fee of 0.05 NADD.
Transfer fees are paid only by the sender. Recipients receive the full transfer amount with no receiving fees deducted from their NADD wallet.
Before every transfer is completed, NADD Pay displays the transfer amount, applicable fee, and total amount to be debited, allowing users to review the transaction before entering their PIN.
The NADD Pay fee model is designed to support affordable digital payments for individuals, merchants, and businesses while maintaining a transparent and predictable pricing structure.
Launching soon, the NADD Debit Card extends the NADD Pay ecosystem beyond WhatsApp payments by enabling users to access their NADD balances through virtual and physical debit cards, merchant payments, ATM access, and programmable financial services.
NADD Virtual Debit Card provides instant digital card access linked to a user's NADD wallet. It is designed for online purchases, subscriptions, digital services, and secure card payments without requiring a physical card.

NADD Card integrates payment conversion logic designed to support multi-currency spending, allowing users to access NADD balances alongside supported digital assets and settlement currencies through secure payment rails.
NADD Card management provides users with controls for card activation, security settings, spending preferences, transaction visibility, and wallet-linked payment management through the NADD ecosystem.
Endola AI is designed as the financial intelligence layer inside NADD Pay on WhatsApp. It uses verified NADD Pay records to help users understand account activity, financial health, risk alerts, insights, recommendations, cash-flow indicators, business activity, and FinBox items in simple English.
Endola AI can help users understand balances, recent activity, wallet events, deposits, withdrawals, business payments, and supported NADD Pay records. It is designed to answer from verified records instead of guessing.
Endola AI can show a user's NADD AI Financial Health Score, including spending, savings, revenue, and risk indicators. The score is informational only and is not a credit score, lending decision, bank rating, regulatory assessment, or formal financial advice.
Endola AI brings important alerts, generated insights, recommendations, and financial inbox items into one guided WhatsApp experience so users can see what needs attention and what actions may help them manage their NADD Pay activity.
