M-Pesa POS in Kenya
Take mobile money at the till and know exactly what you earned.
M-Pesa is how most Kenyan customers pay. Businesses typically receive it through a Buy Goods till number or a Paybill number. The hard part is not receiving the money. It is matching each payment to the right sale.
Why reconciliation matters
If M-Pesa messages sit on a phone and sales sit in a notebook, the two never quite agree. Shortfalls, double entries and missing payments only show up at month end, when it is hard to trace them.
Protect yourself from fake messages
Fake M-Pesa confirmation messages are a known risk. Confirm that money has actually arrived in your M-Pesa account or statement before handing over goods, not only from an SMS the customer shows you.
What to look for in an M-Pesa POS
- Cash and M-Pesa recorded in the same sale.
- One daily total that matches your till and your M-Pesa statement.
- Clear receipts for customers.
- Records that support your tax obligations, including eTIMS.
