# Get Started

**Balad™ Gateway APIs** are a suite of RESTful endpoints, purpose-built for secure, fast, and easy access to Egypt’s payout and payment network.  
Developers can build and scale their applications by consuming Balad’s unified APIs, covering **remittances, collections, bills, and vouchers** — all in one place.  
With just a few calls, you can **authenticate, transfer funds, reconcile collections, or pay bills** seamlessly.
