Mojaloop is "open-source software for building interoperable digital
payments platforms on a national scale. It makes it easy for different
kinds of providers to link up their services and deploy low-cost financial
services in new markets."

At the Mifos Initiative, we believe that Mojaloop nicely complements the
Mifos/Apache Fineract stack whereby we provide the core banking
infrastructure for client and mobile wallet account management, a financial
ledger, and portfolio account management needed by each Digital Financial
Service Provider to uniquely identify accounts and initiate and record
transactions on financial accounts.

While Mojaloop provides an open source platform enabling an internet of
payments providing secure, low-cost, interoperable payments utilizing the
following components:

Mojaloop includes four components: an interoperability layer, which
connects bank accounts, mobile money wallets, and merchants in an open
loop; a directory service layer, which navigates the different methods that
providers use to identify accounts on each side of a transaction; a
transactions settlement layer, which makes payments instant and
irrevocable; and, components which protect against fraud.
