Create an Application

A Mono dashboard application is an entity that serves as the foundational block for running any of Mono's API products. Once deleted, every data associated with this application gets expunged instantly.

At the point of creation, you will be able to:

• Set an Application name & Display name.
• Attach a branded business logo. This image would be served to your users when trying to link their bank account on the first page of your Mono Connect widget.
• Choose a Mono product that this specific application will serve e.g Connect or Issuing.
• Bind multiple scopes that an application has access to. E.g Transactions, Statements, Identity, Accounts, Payments etc.
• For a Mono Connect product, you can decide to select the bank account type (e.g Personal, Business or both) that will be rendered on your Mono connect widget.
• The last but not the least is to add an Industry that this dashboard application will be scoped to.

Quick Notes

• You can create as many dashboard applications as you can as there is no fixed limit.
• Rendering Personal or Business banks on the Mono widget can be done by setting the Account Type.
• To make use of our Directpay APIs, ensure to add Payments to your application scope.
