An AI API you can pay for by bank transfer
In short: Bridge by Wekoya gives every account its own Nigerian account number. Transfer naira to it from any bank and your balance goes up; every AI request is then paid from that balance, with its cost shown in naira. It covers GPT, Claude, Gemini and 90+ other models through one OpenAI-compatible key.

How it works
- Create a free account and add your phone number.
- Open Billing. Your account number is there; transfer to it from any Nigerian bank app.
- The balance updates when the transfer arrives. Create a key and start calling models.
- Each request is paid from the balance and shows its cost in naira. When the balance runs out, requests stop with a clear error; nothing goes negative.
Control what you spend
- Put a naira limit on any key, so a leaked key or a bug cannot drain the balance.
- Give each of your app's users their own budget with end users.
- In a company account, set a limit per person, and see the model, cost and exchange rate of every request.
Free credit to start
New accounts can get ₦2,000 of welcome credit when they add a phone number and set up their account number. It is one per person.
Common questions
Which banks can I transfer from?
Any Nigerian bank. The account number on your Billing page takes ordinary bank transfers.
Is there a subscription?
No. You pay per request from your balance. Nothing recurs.
Can I pay by card instead?
Yes, a card works too. A bank transfer is simply the way that never needs a dollar card.
