Streamlining Payments for SMEs in Kenya: Unlock Growth with Lipabiz

In today's digital landscape, a seamless payment process is paramount for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya. The right payments solution can significantly boost operational efficiency, reduce costs, and unlock growth opportunities.

According to the Central Bank of Kenya's 2020 Economic Survey Report, SMEs contribute around 48% to the country's GDP. However, many struggle with outdated payment methods that hinder growth and productivity.

Cash-on-Delivery: A Common Challenge

One of the most significant issues faced by Kenyan SMEs is cash-on-delivery (COD) transactions. The reliance on COD can lead to delayed payments, lost sales, and increased administrative burdens.

  • Improved cash flow management: By receiving payments quickly, businesses can better manage their finances, make timely payments to suppliers, and invest in growth opportunities.
  • Enhanced security: Digital payments offer a higher level of security compared to cash transactions. Lipabiz uses industry-standard encryption and fraud detection tools to protect your business from potential threats.
