Kenya

Build a business that STACKS up. Uko Sorted.

Every way Kenya pays in one integration. Settlement in KES or USD within two working days. PCI DSS Level 1 and CBK authorised.

M-PESA, Airtel Money, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, UnionPay, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Pesalink in one integration.

Your customers pay one way but your finance team gets paid multiple ways.

Kenya solved paying long ago. A customer pays with M-Pesa, Airtel Money, a card, a phone tap or a bank transfer and expects each one to work at every branch and online.

Getting paid was never solved. A business that accepts all of it runs direct mobile money deals, bank PDQs and an online gateway. Month-end takes a week and somebody has to phone somebody.

  1. Direct M-Pesa and Airtel Money deals
  2. Bank PDQs at every branch
  3. An online gateway
  4. Multiple settlement statements
  5. Multiple contracts and support lines

One Paystack integration. One report for every method and every branch, one contract and one team in Nairobi.

Kenyans have a word for the moment a worry leaves the list.

  • Your fundi says it when the roof is fixed.
  • Your accountant says it when the returns are filed.
  • Your M-Pesa agent says it when the float is topped up.
