I am running Apache Fineract 1.14. How can I enable customer self-service APIs such as:

Login → /self/authentication
→ View accounts → /self/accounts
→ Check loans → /self/loans
→ Transfer money → /self/accounttransfers

Additionally, I would like to enable the following endpoints:

  • /self/*
  • /self/beneficiaries
  • /self/charges
  • /self/accounttransfers
  • /self/savingsaccounts
  • /self/savingsaccounts/{id}
  • /self/savingsaccounts/{id}/transactions
  • /self/loans
  • /self/loans/{loanId}
  • /self/loans/{loanId}/transactions
Could you please guide me on how to enable and configure these for end customers? Thanks in advance

Hi

We just removed self-service capabilities from Fineract due to:
  • Unmaintained functionality
We are recommending all parties to use 3rd party solution for it...

Thank you for the update. Understood regarding the removal of self-service capabilities due to it being unmaintained.
Could you please suggest any recommended third-party solutions or best practices for implementing self-service functionality with Fineract?

Hi all,

Since the self-service feature has been disabled in Apache Fineract and is planned to be removed, could you please advise on the recommended approach for building a web-based application that allows customers to log in and view or transact on their accounts and loans?

Should this functionality now be implemented through custom applications that directly consume the Apache Fineract REST APIs, similar to how the Mifos Mobile app previously interacted with the backend?

Additionally, my understanding of the earlier architecture is as follows:

Mifos Mobile App → Self-Service Plugin → Apache Fineract → MariaDB
Please correct me if this understanding is inaccurate.

Your guidance on the recommended architecture and best practices would be greatly appreciated.
