What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a money lender
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a money lender, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A lender holds borrower records and cash floats, so each loan and repayment must be tracked precisely. Income comes from interest on outstanding loans, so accurate tracking of who owes what decides profit.
Microfinance lenders need to issue compliant receipts for loan disbursements and repayments, and KRA expects clean records. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
