The real problem

83% of Kenyans earn windfall income.
Bills don't care when you earn.

Boda riders, mama mboga, jua kali workers — you earn well, but by the time the landlord calls at month-end, it's gone. LipaBill solves exactly this. Save as you earn, pay when it's due.

💡 A different kind of fintech

Kenya has 195 loan apps.
LipaBill is none of them.

Every other fintech app in Kenya wants to lend you money at 30–100% APR. LipaBill is the only app that helps you save your own money first — so you never have to borrow in the first place.

8 million Kenyans are currently CRB-listed — most for amounts under Ksh 1,000. Tala, Branch and Zenka are profitable because people can't pay their bills without borrowing. LipaBill makes those apps unnecessary.

🏥 Kenya's biggest financial blind spot

SHA covers the hospital.
But what about everything else?

When illness hits a Kenyan family, SHA typically covers a fraction of the total bill. One family received only Ksh 23,600 from SHA toward a Ksh 1.6 million hospital bill. The rest came from selling assets and fundraising on WhatsApp groups.

29M+ SHA members
Most cover fraction of bills
Ksh 50/day builds a safety net
🏥

Medical Emergency Reserve

Save Ksh 50–200 daily toward a dedicated medical emergency wallet. When illness strikes, your family doesn't need to sell the sofa or post on WhatsApp.

SHA Contribution Auto-Pay

Informal workers miss SHA contributions because they don't know when or how much to pay. LipaBill will calculate your 2.75% levy and pay it automatically.

Why this matters

No loan app helps you prepare for a medical emergency. They only lend you money after disaster strikes — at 30–100% APR. LipaBill helps you never need them.

✨ New feature

Planning a family Easter retreat? Church fundraiser? School trip? LipaBill Group Pools lets your group contribute daily amounts via M-Pesa toward a shared goal — and everyone can track progress in real time.

No more waiting for someone to collect the full amount. No awkward reminders. No missed contributions. Everyone commits, everyone contributes a little at a time.

Be the first to know when Group Pools launches. No spam, ever.

Perfect for any group goal

Lipa pole pole — together.

Whatever your group is saving toward, LipaBill Pool makes the contributions automatic, transparent, and stress-free.
