DigiPay has been selected as one of ten fintech companies to participate in the Kenya Fintech Accelerator program, an initiative supported by the Central Bank of Kenya to foster innovation in financial services. This recognition validates our approach to building payment infrastructure that is both technologically advanced and deeply aligned with the needs of Kenyan businesses.
About the Accelerator Program
The Kenya Fintech Accelerator is a six-month program designed to support high-potential fintech companies operating in the Kenyan market. Selected companies receive mentorship from senior financial sector leaders, regulatory guidance, access to banking partnerships, and visibility within the broader financial services ecosystem. The program evaluated over 200 applicants and selected just ten for participation.
Why DigiPay Was Selected
The selection committee recognized DigiPay for several key innovations. Our unified API that handles both M-Pesa and card payments through a single integration point simplifies development significantly. Our 24-hour settlement speed leads the industry. Our fraud detection system using machine learning achieves high accuracy with minimal false positives. And our transparent 2 percent pricing model has set a new standard for fairness in the market.
Benefits for Our Merchants
This accelerator participation directly benefits DigiPay merchants. Deeper relationships with banks will enable faster settlement processing. Regulatory guidance ensures our platform stays ahead of compliance requirements. Partnerships developed through the program will expand the payment methods and features available to merchants on our platform.

Building Trust in Digital Payments
The Central Bank's support of programs like this demonstrates commitment to growing Kenya's digital payment ecosystem safely and sustainably.
