A better way to pay in Kenya

Stop memorising till numbers and PayBills. DetectPay makes payments as simple as walking up to a merchant.

❌ The old way
🗣️ Ask the cashier for their till number
⌨️ Type the PayBill or till number manually
📱 Type a phone number for personal payments
🔢 Enter an account reference and hope it's right
🧾 Ask for a paper receipt — or get none at all
