What is M-Pesa?
M-Pesa is Safaricom’s mobile money service that lets users send, receive, save and pay using their phone number. It is the dominant payment rail in Kenya.
A real Kenyan example
A customer at a restaurant pays via Lipa na M-Pesa to the till number. The bill is settled within seconds and the receipt prints with the eTIMS code.
Why it matters
A POS that does not integrate M-Pesa loses 30-60% of customers depending on industry.
How Veira helps
Veira integrates Till, Paybill and Pochi la Biashara, and auto-reconciles every payment.
