About Us
Built in Africa,
for Africa.
Our Story
We started with a simple observation.
Millions of automated machines across Africa — water ATMs, milk dispensers, vending machines, laundry equipment — were running on cash. Their owners had no idea how much they were making each day, which machines were broken, or whether their operators were honest.
They were invisible. And because they were invisible to the financial system, they couldn't access credit, couldn't prove performance, and couldn't grow.
We built QuePay to change that. A simple retrofit device that connects any automated machine to Africa's mobile money ecosystem — giving operators payments, data, and a pathway to formal finance.
In less than 12 months, we've processed over KES 10 million in transactions across 6 verticals in Kenya. We're just getting started.

Our Mission
"To connect every automated system in Africa to the mobile money economy — and give every operator the data, tools, and financial access to grow."

Values
What we stand for
Africa-First
Every product decision starts with the African operator. We build for the realities of our market — mobile money penetration, unreliable connectivity, and cash-heavy environments.
Transparent
No hidden fees. No opaque data practices. Operators see exactly what they're paying, exactly what their machines are doing, and exactly what data we hold.
Reliable
99% device uptime isn't a marketing claim — it's an SLA. When operators depend on QuePay for their revenue, we take that dependency seriously.
