DigiPay is proud to announce that our platform now processes over KES 1 billion in monthly transaction volume for more than 500 active merchants across Kenya. This milestone represents 200 percent year-over-year growth and validates our mission of building the most reliable and affordable payment gateway for Kenyan businesses.
Growth Driven by Merchant Success
Our growth reflects the success of the businesses we serve. From small online shops processing their first KES 1000 transaction to established e-commerce platforms handling millions daily, DigiPay merchants span every sector of Kenya's digital economy. Each merchant growing means more transactions flowing through our platform, creating a flywheel of growth that benefits everyone through improved infrastructure and lower costs.
Platform Reliability at Scale
Processing KES 1 billion monthly requires infrastructure that never goes down. DigiPay maintained 99.97 percent uptime over the past 12 months, with zero extended outages. Our distributed architecture ensures that individual server failures never impact payment processing. Every merchant can rely on DigiPay being available when their customers are ready to pay.
500 Merchants and Growing
We now serve over 500 active merchants ranging from individual entrepreneurs to mid-size corporations. Industries represented include e-commerce retail, food delivery, SaaS subscriptions, professional services, travel booking, education, healthcare, and more. This diversity demonstrates that DigiPay payment infrastructure works for businesses of any size or sector.
Kenya-First Approach
Unlike international payment processors that treat Africa as an afterthought, DigiPay is built Kenya-first. Our M-Pesa integration is native not bolted on, our settlement accounts are with Kenyan banks, our support team operates in Kenyan time zones, and our pricing is designed for the Kenyan market. This local focus is why merchants choose us over global alternatives.
Investment in Technology
Reaching this milestone allows us to reinvest in platform capabilities. We are expanding our engineering team, upgrading infrastructure for even faster processing, building new features merchants have requested, and improving our mobile app experience. Every shilling processed helps fund the next generation of payment tools.
What Comes Next
Our next target is KES 5 billion monthly by end of 2025. We will achieve this by expanding card processing capabilities, launching payment links for no-code merchants, introducing recurring billing tools, and continuing to deliver the fast settlements and reliable service that merchants depend on. The future of Kenyan commerce is digital, and DigiPay is building the rails it runs on.
