Technology that Works

Five live and in-development digital platforms across fintech, operations, and community service — all built and operated by TYGAN in South Africa.

Live FinTech International Payments

TyganPay

TYGAN's flagship international payment gateway — purpose-built for high-value cross-border transactions. TyganPay accepts raw SWIFT FIN message text as input, automatically parses it into structured payment fields, and enriches the transaction with live cryptocurrency conversion rates sourced directly from Binance's API.

The platform is deployed on Vercel for global edge performance, with sensitive Binance API calls proxied through Cloudflare Workers to avoid CORS restrictions and protect API credentials. Access is secured with Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) two-factor authentication.

Platform Capabilities
  • SWIFT FIN message parsing and structured form auto-fill
  • Live crypto conversion rates via Binance API (Cloudflare proxy)
  • Ad-hoc crypto payout — ETH and multi-asset support
  • Time-based OTP (TOTP) two-factor authentication
  • PayFast fiat payment integration
  • NOWPayments crypto gateway integration
  • Ozow instant EFT integration
  • Cloudflare Workers API proxy layer

In Development Visa Payments Merchant Services

VisAcc — Visa Acceptance

TYGAN's Visa Acceptance platform enables South African merchants to accept card-present and card-not-present Visa payments through a streamlined digital interface. Built on the Visa Acceptance developer API, VisAcc allows merchants to create invoices, generate payment links, and manage customer payments without navigating complex banking integrations directly.

A key design goal is natural language interaction — a merchant should be able to type "Create an invoice for R5,000 to Acme Ltd" and have the system handle the rest. This is enabled through MCP (Model Context Protocol) server integration that allows Claude Desktop and similar AI agents to operate VisAcc on behalf of merchants.

Planned Capabilities

  • Merchant onboarding and KYC via Visa Acceptance developer API
  • Natural language invoice creation interface
  • Payment link generation with automatic email delivery
  • Card-present (POS) and card-not-present (CNP) flow support
  • MCP server for Claude Desktop and AI agent integration
  • Merchant dashboard with transaction history and reconciliation
