What is Surepay?

M-PESA SurePay is a secure payment system by Safaricom that helps organizations like companies, NGOs, and government institutions send money safely to beneficiaries. It ensures that funds are used only for their intended purpose, making it easier to track transactions from disbursement to spending. For example, HELB (Higher Education Loans Board) could use SurePay to ensure student loan funds go directly to tuition or approved expenses, reducing misuse. Big organizations like the World Food Programme (WFP) also use SurePay to distribute food vouchers, improving accountability. This system not only cuts disbursement costs but also supports Safaricom’s vision of a cashless economy.
