Who we are

Uganda's open, neutral payments intermediary

MicroPay provides an innovative electronic payments platform designed to enable multiple forms of secure e-payment, built for the realities of how Ugandans actually transact — with a smartphone, on any network, near any agent.

The platform acts as an open, neutral intermediary between financial institutions, customers, and non-customers within the mobile money ecosystem. Because the system is independent of mobile network operators, all a person needs to participate is a smartphone.

That independence is deliberate. Rather than being tied to a single bank or telecom, MicroPay sits between them — letting money move across whichever network or institution a person already uses.
