The Mono Connect SDK is a quick and secure way to link bank accounts to Mono from within your React Native app. Mono Connect is a drop-in framework that handles connecting a financial institution to your app (credential validation, multi-factor authentication, error handling, etc).
For accessing customer accounts and interacting with Mono's API (Identity, Transactions, Income, TransferPay) use the server-side Mono API.
For complete information about Mono Connect, head to the docs.
- Register on the Mono website and get your public and secret keys.
- Set up a server to exchange tokens to access user financial data with your Mono secret key.
Using NPM
npm install @mono.co/connect-react-nativeUsing yarn
yarn add @mono.co/connect-react-nativeAlso install react-native-webview because it's a peer dependency for this package.
Add the camera permission to the android.permissions key in your app config (app.json, app.config.js, app.config.ts).
{
"android": {
"permissions": ["android.permission.CAMERA"]
}
}Or add the camera permission directly to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>Set a camera permission message through the ios.infoPlist key in your app config.
{
"ios": {
"infoPlist": {
"NSCameraUsageDescription": "your usage description here"
}
}
}If editing Info.plist as text, add:
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>your usage description here</string>Before you can open Mono Connect, you need to first create a publicKey. Your publicKey can be found in the Mono Dashboard.

}You can fetch the Account ID of a linked account from the Mono dashboard or API.
Alternatively, make an API call to the Exchange Token Endpoint with the code from a successful linking and your mono application secret key. If successful, this will return an Account ID.
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.withmono.com/v2/accounts/auth \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'mono-sec-key: your_secret_key' \
--data '{"code":"string"}'String: Required
This is your Mono public API key from the Mono dashboard.
String: Required
This is the scope the widget will launch with. This can be auth, reauth, or payments
Required
// For an existing customer, their customer ID can be passed directly
const customer = { id: '611aa53041247f2801efb222' } // mono customer id
// If you don't have an existing customer, you can create one by providing their details.
// The customer will be created after the account connection is successful.
const customer = {
name: 'Samuel Olumide',
email: '[email protected]',
identity: {
type: 'bvn',
number: '2323233239'
},
}
const config = {
key: 'mono_public_key',
scope: 'auth',
data: { customer },
};(data) => { Void }: Required
The closure is called when a user has successfully onboarded their account. It should take a single String argument containing the code that can be exchanged for an account id.
const config = {
publicKey: "YOUR_MONO_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE",
scope: 'auth',
data: {
customer: {id: "mono_customer_id"}
},
onSuccess: (data) => {
const code = data.getAuthCode()
console.log("Access code", code)
}
}() => { Void }: Optional
The optional closure is called when a user has specifically exited the Mono Connect flow. It does not take any arguments.
const config = {
publicKey: "YOUR_MONO_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE",
scope: 'auth',
data: {
customer: {id: "mono_customer_id"}
},
onSuccess: (data) => {
const code = data.getAuthCode()
console.log("Access code", code)
},
onClose: () => alert('Widget closed')
}(eventName, data) => { Void }: Optional
This optional closure is called when certain events in the Mono Connect flow have occurred, for example, when the user selected an institution. This enables your application to gain further insight into what is going on as the user goes through the Mono Connect flow.
See the event details below.
const config = {
publicKey: "YOUR_MONO_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE",
scope: 'auth',
data: {
customer: {id: "mono_customer_id"}
},
onSuccess: (data) => {
const code = data.getAuthCode()
console.log("Access code", code)
},
onEvent: (eventName, data) => {
console.log(eventName)
console.log(data)
}
}String: Optional
When passing a reference to the configuration it will be passed back on all onEvent calls.
const config = {
publicKey: "YOUR_MONO_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE",
scope: 'auth',
data: {
customer: {id: "mono_customer_id"}
},
onSuccess: (data) => {
const code = data.getAuthCode()
console.log("Access code", code)
},
reference: "random_string"
}Event names corespond to the type of event that occurred. Possible options are in the table below.
| Event Name | Description |

| EXIT | Triggered when the user closes the Connect Widget. |
| SUCCESS | Triggered when the user successfully links their account and provides the code for autentication. |

| ACCOUNT_LINKED | Triggered when the user successfully links their account. |
| ACCOUNT_SELECTED | Triggered when the user selects a new account. |
| ERROR | Triggered when the widget reports an error. |
