Prospa is an operating system and financial platform for African small and medium businesses (SMEs) and entrepreneurs. Founded by Frederik Obasi, Chioma Ugo, and Rodney Jackson-Cole, Prospa combines commercial business bank accounts with integrated invoicing, inventory tracking, payroll, and bookkeeping tools.

Prospa's Developer API enables software platforms and corporate teams to automate bank account operations: generating virtual sub-accounts, initiating bulk payouts, fetching real-time transaction ledgers, and triggering automated tax withholding (such as automatic VAT and withholding tax segregation). Platforms can also embed Prospa's invoice generation and automated payment link creation into their own business software.

Prospa operates under licensed microfinance banking partners with NDIC insurance protection, serving over 100,000 Nigerian businesses.

Prospa API is best for:

Entrepreneurs, tech startups, accounting platforms, and SMEs looking for modern business banking with automated tax and invoicing APIs.
