About FahariPayAfrican businesses deserve
world-class money movement.
So we built it, with pride.
FahariPay gives businesses in East Africa one account to collect, hold, convert and pay out, on the rails their customers already use.
Fahari means pride.
In Swahili, fahari is pride, honour and splendour. It's how we want every business that uses us to feel: proud of how their money moves. Our lion, crowned with a mane of Ndebele-style triangles, stands for that pride, and for the courage it takes to build here.
Money in Africa still moves too slowly.
East Africa leads the world in mobile money. Yet when a business needs to hold dollars, pay a supplier in Asia, or pay hundreds of staff at once, it's still stuck with slow bank wires, opaque FX and a patchwork of providers.
FahariPay brings all of that into one account. Collect by M-Pesa, Airtel Money, cards or bank. Hold shillings and dollars. Convert at transparent rates. Pay anyone in minutes, locally or across borders, 24/7.
We're part of the PrimePay group, which builds settlement infrastructure for businesses around the world. FahariPay is its home in Africa: built in Nairobi, for Africa.
