Services · Systems and payment integrations
Parents, members and customers already pay with MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, cards and bank transfers. We connect your business or school to the payment gateways that carry those payments, and we link every payment to your records. Each shilling lands on the right account with a receipt, and nobody has to match it by hand.
How it works
This is what happens in the few seconds after someone taps Pay. You can watch it appear in your system as it goes.
A parent picks a child and a fee. A member picks a savings account. A customer picks a product.
A prompt appears on their own phone, or on the gateway's secure page for cards. They enter their PIN or card details there. We never see them.
MTN, Airtel, a bank or a certified payment partner tells your system the payment went through, and which account it was for.
The balance changes, a receipt goes out by SMS, and your finance team sees it on their list.
Gateways and partners
Money in Uganda moves through banks, telecom companies and licensed payment providers. Some of these let a business connect to them directly. Others only work through a certified third party. We use whichever route applies to you, and we tell you which one before you sign.
Some services, such as card payments, links to banks and some telecom connections, can only be reached through a certified third party: a licensed payment gateway or aggregator approved to deal with banks and telecom companies. In those cases we integrate your system with that partner, and the partner carries the regulated part of the work.
Where a service can be used without a middleman, for example a business account that offers its own connection to your system, we integrate that service directly. That can mean fewer fees and one less party between you and your money.
Your written quote says which services go direct and which go through a partner, who the partner is, and what they charge. Provider and partner fees are separate from our price and are paid at cost.
Good to know
We build the technical side
Licensing, tax and contract questions are best answered by a lawyer or your accountant. We are glad to work with yours and to provide whatever technical records they ask for.
1 · Collect
Start with a simple pay button on your website, or connect payments to the records you already keep. Parents and members pay when it suits them, and your records update without anyone chasing or matching payments. The second option is where most schools and SACCOs save the most time.
A website, church or small shop that wants to take MTN MoMo and Airtel Money online.

Usually 3 to 5 weeks
Organisations with many fee types, branches or bank accounts and a finance team.

Provider and gateway fees are charged by the provider or the certified partner, not by us. We show you their current rates before you sign.
2 · Connect
If someone on your team retypes the same data into a second program, that is a connection waiting to be built. We link your website, accounts, spreadsheets and messaging, so each fact is entered once.
You use two programs that do not talk to each other, such as a website form and an Excel sheet.
From UGX 3,800,000
Usually 2 to 3 weeks
A process with several steps, such as enquiry, approval, invoice and reminder.

A real example
The school runs a website with a content system, and an e-learning platform for students and teachers. Our team built all three, so sign-in, notices and content feel like one service to the people who use them.
See the platform3 · Pay out
Staff allowances, farmer payments, refunds and loans all follow the same pattern. You prepare a list, someone approves it, and the system processes the payments. Every step is recorded.

Organisations where money must not move until the right people have said yes.

Usually 5 to 7 weeks
Lenders, SACCOs and programmes that pay out loans, grants or claims on a schedule.
From UGX 18,000,000

Before you start
You need a provider account in your name
That keeps the money flowing straight to you. We help with the forms and the checks, and we run the application alongside the build. If the route goes through a certified partner, we help you open the account with them too.
Estimate
Choose what you need and the figure updates as you go. It is a starting point, and we confirm the final price after a short call.
Questions
Both, depending on the service. Where MTN or Airtel offer a direct connection for businesses, we integrate it directly. Card payments, links to banks and some other services must go through certified third-party gateways, so we integrate with the partner that suits you. Your quote names the route, the partner and their charges.
Payments run only through providers that are licensed or approved in Uganda, so the regulated work stays with them. On our side we limit who can see customer data, keep a log of every payment and approval, and never store PINs or card numbers. For questions about licensing or tax, a lawyer or accountant is the right person, and we are happy to work with yours.
The payment provider, or the certified partner we connect you through, charges a fee on each transaction. You choose whether to carry it or pass it on to the payer. We show you the provider's current rates before you sign, because they set the rates and can change them.
Yes. The account is in your organisation's name, with the provider or the certified gateway partner, so the money reaches you directly. We help you with the forms and the checks, and we set up the connection once the account is ready.
The build is the quick part. Opening a provider account can take a week or more, depending on the documents you have ready. We start the build and the application together so neither waits for the other.
We never store a customer's phone PIN or card number. Customers confirm on their own phone or on the provider's page. Every payment is logged, and only the people you name can see them.
The system checks with the provider again and matches the payment on its own. If something still does not match, it goes into a short list for your finance team, so nothing is lost.
Usually yes, if it can accept data from outside. We look at it first and tell you honestly if it is easier to connect, or to replace one part.
A few lines are enough. We reply within one working day and tell you what can be connected, and what it would cost.
