Third-Party Integrations
TendoPay builds its core business logic in-house, but relies on a curated set of third-party services for specialised capabilities. The list below is grouped by what each category does for the product, rather than naming every vendor — the actual providers may evolve over time.
Identity & KYC
- KYC providers for document capture, identity verification, and liveness checks during onboarding.
- Credit scoring providers that consume signals from the user's device to assist underwriting.
Authentication
- Social login with Apple only — it is the sole active SSO provider. (Facebook, Google, and Yahoo have been disabled.)
- Bot and abuse protection via hCaptcha and Cloudflare Turnstile on signup and high-risk forms.
- Two-factor authentication for admins and sensitive customer flows.
Payments & Cash Out
- Payment gateways for inbound repayments and outbound cash-out flows.
- Voucher partners for store-redeemable vouchers as a disbursement option.
- Xendit is the provider behind two flows:
- E-wallet disbursements — cash-out to the popular Philippine wallets (GCash, Maya, GrabPay, ShopeePay, etc.) is routed through Xendit's e-wallet APIs rather than wallet-by-wallet direct integrations.
- Bank account connections — payouts to and validations against Philippine bank accounts (BPI, BDO, UnionBank, Metrobank, etc.) go through Xendit's disbursement and bank-account-validation APIs.
- The Xendit integration is exposed through a single internal service interface, so the rest of the codebase calls one abstraction regardless of which wallet or bank is on the other end.
Messaging
- SMS providers for OTP delivery, transactional messages, and collections.
- Email delivery for transactional and marketing email.
- Push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for the mobile apps.
- In-app messaging and lifecycle marketing for customer engagement campaigns.
Payroll & Employer
- Payroll bridge providers for Earned Wage Access (EWA) and employer-linked features.
Merchant Integrations
- E-commerce platforms (for example, Shopify) — TendoPay is offered as a checkout option.
- Marketplaces — TendoPay is integrated as a payment method in partner storefronts.
Analytics & Marketing
- Web analytics for product and conversion measurement.
- Marketing pixels for Facebook, TikTok, and Google for attribution.
- Tag management for managing marketing tags without code changes.
Why we treat the vendor list as a moving target
Specific vendors in each category change over time as commercial terms, coverage, and product needs evolve. The architecture isolates each integration behind an internal service interface so a provider can be swapped without changes leaking into the rest of the codebase. If you need the current vendor for a given category, check the relevant config file in the backend repo rather than relying on this page.
