Frequently Asked Questions
What currencies are available?
AFXO covers 27+ currencies across Africa and key trade partners including KES, NGN, ZAR, EGP, ETB, TZS, GHS, UGX, and more. See our full currency list for complete coverage.
What's the difference between Sandbox and paid plans?
Sandbox provides daily snapshots of indicative rates for testing only. Paid plans provide production-grade data with higher update frequencies: Starter (hourly), Builder (5-minute), Growth (1-minute live), and Enterprise (sub-minute with guarantees).
What does "live" data mean?
Growth tier (1-minute updates) and Enterprise tier (sub-minute) are considered "live" data suitable for trading applications. Builder tier (5-minute) is "near real-time" suitable for production apps and dashboards. Starter tier (hourly) is ideal for internal tools and reference data.
How does on-chain access work?
Growth and Enterprise plans include access to our AggregatorV3-compatible smart contracts. Avalanche C-Chain is our canonical root (source of truth) with low fees and sub-second finality. Celo and Base follow within a month of launch, then Arbitrum and Solana.
Can I upgrade or change currencies later?
Yes, you can upgrade your plan or add/remove currency pairs at any time. Changes take effect at your next billing cycle.
Do you offer discounts for startups?
Yes, we offer special pricing for early-stage startups and ecosystem partners. Contact us to learn more.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit cards (Stripe) for self-serve plans. Enterprise customers can pay via invoice with wire transfer.
