Building the payment infrastructure for East Africa.
Kabi Investment Limited is a Tanzanian fintech company incorporated under the Business Registrations and Licensing Agency (BRELA), operating the KabiPay payment platform.
We provide the financial infrastructure that allows businesses and individuals across East Africa to accept payments, move money, and grow — from the first transaction to the billionth.
Democratise access to modern financial infrastructure.
We believe that every business in East Africa — regardless of size, location, or technical capability — deserves access to the same quality of payment infrastructure that global enterprises enjoy.
KabiPay removes the friction between businesses and their customers money, supporting mobile money networks, bank transfers, and card payments with a single API, instant settlement, and transparent pricing.
The backbone of commerce across Africa.
We are building toward a future where a market trader in Kariakoo can accept a tap payment from a customer, settle funds to her mobile wallet instantly, and use those funds to reorder stock — all without ever touching cash.
That vision drives every product decision we make — from KabiPay developer API to TapTap, our NFC wearable payment solution for Tanzania informal economy.
