The shift

Stop spending into a void. Start earning credit.

Across Africa, ~$20B of creditworthy SME demand goes unserved because there's no record of the trade that's already happening. Every payment you make through cash or fragmented apps disappears. VycePay keeps the receipt — and turns it into leverage.

Today · without VycePay

Activity that vanishes

  • 8–10% lost to cross-border & fragmented exchange fees
  • 3–5 day settlement delays choke cash flow
  • No formal transaction history → no bank will lend
  • SIM-locked money that can't cross a border
With VycePay

Activity that compounds

  • Fees capped at 1.5%, real-time local settlement
  • Every payment feeds your VyceScore automatically
  • A verifiable ledger that unlocks working capital
  • Border-agnostic @username payments, any currency

How it works

From sign-up to working capital — in three steps.

Built for a phone and a few minutes. No segmentation forms, no jargon. Just start transacting.

1

Join the pilot Karibu

Request access to the early Mombasa rollout. Selected users are onboarded in controlled batches so the experience stays fast and stable — everyone else joins a structured early-access waitlist.

2

Onboard in minutes Jisajili

Set up with your National ID and a quick biometric check. Identity-driven, not SIM-locked — so your wallet works across borders from day one.

3

Pay & unlock Lipa, kisha fungua mtaji

Process P2P and B2B payments with real-time settlement. Every transaction builds your VyceScore — and once you qualify, pre-approved working capital appears right in the app.

The engine

VyceScore: your business activity, scored.

Not a survey. Not a guess. VyceScore reads the trade you're already doing and turns it into a credit signal lenders can underwrite — so capital follows performance, not paperwork.

VyceScore
Working-capital ready

Transaction frequency & volume

Consistent, growing flow signals a healthy, active business.

Repayment behaviour

How reliably you clear micro-advances proves you manage debt well.

Cross-border activity

Steady remittance and trade inflow indicates a stable income base.

Ecosystem engagement

Using invoicing, ledgers and QR deepens trust and lifts your score.

Payments fund the engine. Credit scales the profit. The network builds the moat.


Who it's for

Two users. One compounding network.

The Mombasa pilot pairs growth-stage merchants with the everyday customers who keep them busy — so volume, data and credit reinforce each other.

◆ For SMEs & merchants

Growth-stage businesses

Mini-marts, pharmacies, salons, electronics shops and small wholesalers turning over 100K–300K KES a month — already busy, but locked out of formal credit.

Questions

Good to know before you join.

What exactly is VyceScore? +
VyceScore is your credit signal, built automatically from real transaction history — payment frequency and volume, supplier payments, cross-border inflow and repayment behaviour. It turns everyday business activity into a verifiable record that lenders can trust, so you can access working capital without traditional collateral or paperwork.
How much does VycePay cost? +
SME payment processing is a flat 1.5% — far below the 8–10% many traders lose to fragmented systems. P2P transfers carry a low blended fee (around 0.75%), and small, frequent transfers stay free. Working-capital advances for qualifying SMEs carry a transparent flat monthly fee.
Who can join the Mombasa pilot? +
Growth-stage Mombasa SMEs turning over 100K–300K KES per month — mini-marts, pharmacies, salons, electronics shops and small wholesalers — plus active urban P2P users aged 20–40 who transact regularly with local businesses. Access is released in controlled batches; anyone not selected immediately joins the early-access waitlist.
Is my money and my data safe? +
Yes. VycePay settles through a regulated banking partner (Choice Bank), aligns with Central Bank of Kenya e-money regulations, and handles personal data under the Kenya Data Protection Act. Onboarding uses National ID and biometric verification, and your transaction data belongs to you.
Do I need M-PESA to use it? +
No — but it works beautifully alongside it. VycePay supports M-PESA, Airtel Money, Buy Goods (Till), Paybill+Account, Pesalink and cross-border FX, with USSD and WhatsApp fallback for low-signal moments. It's identity-driven, not SIM-locked, so it isn't tied to one network.
