Pesapal is a financial services company focused on payments and related business tools across Africa, based in Dagoretti, Nairobi, Kenya. Since 2009 it has helped tens of thousands of African merchants collect money online and at in-person points of sale via mobile devices, cards, and bank transfers, and it provides tools for ticketing, reservations, reporting, inventory, merchant credit, and APIs. The company processes up to 12 million transactions per month in collaboration with its banking, card, and telecom partners, and operates under the regulatory oversight of the Central Banks of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. Its customers are African merchants and entrepreneurs seeking electronic payments, e-commerce, and related financial services, with solutions designed to simplify payments at point-of-sale or through its app and to support business operations. A recent development is the February 2026 launch of Rack Hospitality, an integrated commerce platform for bars and restaurants, announced through a collaboration with Drift Consult.
