Can I use this server with the Monnify Sandbox?

This implementation defaults to the live production URL. To use the sandbox, the underlying engine code would need to be updated to point to 'sandbox.monnify.com'.

What information is required to reserve a virtual account?

You need to provide a unique account reference, the account name to display, and the customer's full name and email address.

Are all Nigerian banks supported?

Most major commercial banks in Nigeria are supported. You can use the `list_banks` tool to see the current list of supported institutions for transfers and reservations.
