We enable Kenyan businesses to collect money via M-Pesa, bank transfer and cards — settled straight to your account, without the usual hustle.
Track your collections and payouts in real time
Collect on M-Pesa with your own Paybill or Till — reconcile automatically and track every shilling in your dashboard.
Every STK push, Paybill and Till payment lands in your dashboard the moment it happens.
Each merchant gets a dedicated Paybill or Till — funds settle to your shortcode, not a shared pool.
Prepaid service credit, holds, charges and releases — every shilling auditable in an append-only ledger.
Fire an STK push straight to your customer's phone at checkout. No apps to install, no card details — just one tap and a PIN.

We provision your shortcode as a dedicated payment channel. STK requests always route with an explicit channel ID — never a shared default.
A production REST API with HMAC-signed webhooks — clean docs, real endpoints, and snippets you can paste. First payment in minutes, not days.
