Good fit

Businesses we’re building for

  • Courses and education

    Take fees for classes, tutoring or online courses from students who pay by mobile money.

  • Software and subscriptions

    Offer your app or service to customers across the region without asking them for a card they may not have.

  • Invoices and services

    Send a client one link for a quote or invoice. They choose how to pay; you get a reference to match it.

  • Online shops

    Add a checkout for customers who would rather pay from their wallet than type in card details.

What you’ll need to apply

  • Your company's registered name, country and registration number
  • The type of business and a rough monthly sales estimate
  • The full name and ID number of the business owner
  • The bank account you want to be paid into

Applying is free. We review every application and agree pricing with you before any live payment is taken.
