Pay stipends, allowances and grants with a clean audit trail

Project money sits in a bank account and has to reach people across the country: students, volunteers, enumerators, trainees and beneficiaries. Fund your wallet from the project account and pay everyone from one approved list.

Who you can pay

  • Student stipends and bursaries
  • Volunteer and field allowances
  • Training per diems
  • Cash transfers to beneficiaries

How it works

The same four steps whether you pay ten people or five hundred.

Step 1

Deposit from your bank

Pay the total into your permanent deposit number from CRDB or NMB. Free on the Malipopay side.

Step 2

Upload your list

Fill the payout template in Excel and upload it. Every row is checked with a name lookup.

Step 3

Approve with a code

See the total, the fees and the balance left, then approve with a one-time code.

Step 4

Everyone is paid

Money goes to each mobile money number or bank account, and every row gets its own status.

Why it works for schools, ngos and projects

Reach people with no bank account

Pay beneficiaries in any region to the mobile money wallet they already have.

The paper trail donors ask for

The bank deposit, the approved list and every individual payment are on record with references you can hand to an auditor.

Maker-checker on request

Ask us to switch on maker-checker for your batches, so the person who uploads a list can never be the one who approves it.
