# Introduction

> The PontisGlobe API lets you move money across borders with one HTTP call.

## What you can do

* Send cross-border transactions in 40+ currencies
* Poll the transaction status, or receive a signed callback when it reaches a final state
* Test the full flow in a **sandbox** mode before going live

## The flow at a glance

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up and complete KYC">
    Create your account at [pontisglobe.com](https://pontisglobe.com) and complete KYC verification. Once verified, open **Developer Tools** to find your **API Key**, **Encryption Secret**, and **HMAC Secret**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log in">
    POST to `/api/v1/user/login` to receive a short-lived **JWT** bound to your account and mode.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send a transaction">
    POST to `/api/v1/payouts/sendPayoutRequest` with an encrypted body and the JWT.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get status">
    Either poll `/api/v1/payouts/getPayoutStatus` — or register a **callback URL** and we'll POST to you when the transaction reaches a final state.
  </Step>
</Steps>
