Run finance, people, and admin
from one place.
Payments, Payroll, People, and Admin — One Workflow. Finally built for East Africa.
Free to get started · No credit card required
Three pillars. One system.
Everything your finance, HR, and admin teams need — connected, not cobbled together.
From request to recipient in minutes
Structured approvals and real-time mobile money disbursements — with a permanent audit trail on every payment.
Create a payment request
Enter recipient, amount, and expense category. Upload a CSV for bulk disbursements.
Approver authorises with OTP
Your approver reviews and signs off with a 6-digit one-time code. No money moves without consent.
Funds land on mobile money fast
Recipients get paid to their wallet on the rail you use — M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, and similar — often in seconds, with confirmation and a full audit record.
Categorise, reconcile, report
Every payment tagged to your chart of accounts. Export KRA-ready journals in one click.
KRA compliance out of the box
Every statutory obligation covered — so your finance team focuses on the business, not chasing deadlines.
Statutory payments (PAYE, SHIF, NSSF, Housing Levy)
Log PRN references, select tax periods, and get due date warnings before penalties apply.
Recipient verification before you pay
Confirm the name on the mobile-money account before funds leave — including Hakikisha-style checks on M-Pesa in Kenya and equivalent safeguards where your rail supports them.
Multi-country ready (KE, UG, TZ, NG, ZA)
Country-specific compliance configs baked in. Expanding means switching a setting, not rebuilding your workflow.
Trusted by finance teams across East Africa
"We used to spend half a day processing casual worker payments. With Centy it's under 10 minutes. The OTP approval gives our board complete confidence."
"The audit trail saved us during our KRA audit. Every payment categorised, dated, and traceable. Our filing was the smoothest it's ever been."
"Recipient verification stopped us sending KES 120,000 to the wrong number in our first month. That alone paid for years of subscription."
Questions we hear often
Straight answers about Centy, mobile money, and getting started. For anything else, use the demo request form below — we'll get back to you from there.
What is Centy?
Centy is one platform for finance operations (payments, payroll, expenses, books), people operations (roster, leave, time), and admin operations (documents, assets). It is built for teams in Kenya and East Africa, with mobile-money workflows across regional rails.
Does Centy support mobile money bulk payments?
Yes. Centy is designed around mobile money and bulk disbursements — including M-Pesa in Kenya and comparable rails such as MTN Mobile Money (Uganda) and Airtel Money (Tanzania and other markets) — with approval workflows and controls suited to finance teams paying suppliers, casual workers, and payroll.
Is Centy only for businesses in Kenya?
Centy is built first for Kenya and Kenyan compliance (KRA, statutory remittances). Teams elsewhere in East Africa use Centy where their workflows align — request a demo to confirm fit for your country.
