Mission
Our Mission
To make M-Pesa programmable — removing the complexity of Daraja so developers across Africa can build payment-powered products in minutes, not months.
Company
Nairobi, Kenya
A Nairobi-based team building M-Pesa payment infrastructure for African developers.
Built in Kenya. Built for builders.
African developers deserve the same frictionless payment infrastructure that engineers in New York and Berlin take for granted. We're fixing that — from Nairobi.
Vision
Our Vision
A continent where every developer — from a solo hacker in Westlands to a 500-person fintech in Lagos — can collect and disburse money as easily as sending a text message.
Our Story
How frustration with Daraja became infrastructure thousands of developers can ship on in an afternoon.
Born from frustration
01
The problem
Our founders spent weeks integrating M-Pesa Daraja — outdated docs, sandbox bugs, and approval queues stretching into months.
02
The insight
51 million active M-Pesa users, billions flowing daily — yet the developer experience to tap into it hadn't kept pace.
03
The solution
Palpluss handles Daraja, credentials, retries, and callbacks. What once took a sprint now takes an afternoon.
Values
Principles that guide how we build, ship, and support every integration on Palpluss.
What we stand for
01
Developer First
Every decision starts with one question: does this make the developer's life better? Features, docs, error messages — all of it.
02
Radical Transparency
Fees, uptime, incidents — you see everything. No surprises, no fine print, no buried clauses.
03
African Context
We build for Kenyan networks, regulations, and users. Not as an afterthought — as the default assumption.
04
Reliability over Features
A payment that fails is worse than a missing feature. We obsess over uptime, retries, and consistency.
Where We Are
Nairobi — the Silicon Savannah
We operate out of Nairobi, Kenya — one of Africa's most vibrant tech ecosystems. From here we serve developers building on M-Pesa across Kenya and the region. The problems we solve are real because we live them.
