Payment fees

No fee on member payments at launch

We do not charge a fee on your members’ M-Pesa payments at launch. Safaricom’s own charges on your paybill and payouts still apply, and you pay those directly to Safaricom.

We plan to introduce a small platform fee on payments later. We’ll do that only after we hold the authorisation the Central Bank of Kenya requires for it, and only after giving every SACCO 60 days’ written notice.

Optional modules

Planned, not available yet

These aren’t available yet — shown so you can see where we’re heading. Pilot SACCOs get early access and a say in what we build first. Prices may change before release, and you’re never charged for a module before it’s available and you’ve switched it on.

Sector modules (transport, agricultural, welfare)
KES 5,000/mo per module · planned
Governance module (remote AGM voting)
KES 5,000/mo · planned
AI risk bundle (early warning & fraud signals)
KES 10,000/mo · planned
Contract terms, in plain language

No surprises in the fine print

  • The first term is 12 months and renews each year. Either side can end it with 60 days’ notice before the term ends.
  • The subscription is billed monthly in advance. Usage is billed monthly in arrears. Invoices are due within 7 days.
  • We give 60 days’ written notice of any price change, and review prices once a year.
  • Your data stays yours. If you leave, we return it within 14 days.
  • Full terms are in the Master Service Agreement, which we send before you commit.

Prices are in Kenya shillings.

Pricing questions
Do members pay anything?

No. The app is free for members.

Are there other fees?

No fees beyond those on this page. Safaricom charges its own tariffs on your paybill and payouts, paid directly to Safaricom.

Why is pricing based on member count?

Our cost to run the platform for you grows with your members, and a flat tier is easier for a board to budget than a per-transaction charge.

Can we cancel during the pilot?

Yes, at any time, at no charge.

Do you discount for unions or groups of SACCOs?

We’re open to it for apex bodies, unions and groups onboarding several SACCOs together — ask us.
