The gateway between them it\u2019s open by the API.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, it makes more sense now that API\u2019s are being integrated within businesses to increase their benefits to their clients.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mobile_Top-up_API\"><\/span>Mobile Top-up API<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now, Reloadly is also an API.
