# Ladder Partner API

> Buy and redeem Ladder investments for your organisation or your customers through a signed, server-to-server API.

The Partner API is for a licensed organisation (asset manager, fintech, broker, treasury desk) that wants to list Ladder investments, hold NGN, GHS and USD wallets, place buy and sell orders and receive every money and order event as a webhook. Every example in these guides is a real exchange recorded against Ladder's sandbox.

## What you can do

* Complete KYB once, through the API, and be approved for live access.
* Hold NGN, GHS and USD wallets and fund them by bank transfer, hosted checkout, direct debit under an e-mandate, or mobile money.
* List the investments open to partners, including every equity and ETF on the Nigerian Exchange with live quotes.
* Place buy orders paid from the wallet or paid per order, tag each with your own customer reference, and redeem holdings with sell orders.
* Read a full ledger of every movement in your wallets and reconcile it against your own books.
