Understanding Mobile Money for Rent Payments in East Africa

Design for reliability

Pick providers with solid uptime SLAs and reconcile nightly. When a payment fails, re-queue with a friendly prompt instead of leaving tenants guessing.

Secure the flow

Use tokenized requests, verify sender names, and keep an auditable trail. Security should be baked into receipts, not just backend logs.

Keep support human

Give tenants a clear help path—chat, call, or email. Fast human responses turn payment hiccups into trust-building moments.
