IntaSend is a Kenyan-based payment infrastructure and payment gateway for African businesses that need to accept online payments and send payouts without integrating with each mobile money network separately.

Key capabilities include:

  • Payment collection for merchants in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, including M-Pesa (the site also references PesaLink and CashApp in its FAQ)
  • Cross-border payouts and payroll through one integration to supported markets including Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, and Sierra Leone, plus Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania
  • Business payments in Kenya to mobile wallets and bank accounts for use cases such as supplier payments and salaries
  • Developer APIs and SDKs, plus prebuilt integrations for Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Odoo, Bubble, WHMCS, and common stacks (React, Vue, Python, PHP, Node.js, Flutter)
  • Fraud prevention technology with 5-layer verification, real-time risk scoring (0–100), machine-learning detection, and automatic blocking of suspicious transactions

Available via web dashboards and APIs, with a testing sandbox and developer documentation.

It targets startups and fintechs, e-commerce merchants, marketplaces, payroll and HR platforms, NGOs, and CBK-licensed payment service providers needing split payments infrastructure and sub-account management.

Notable in the African market for offering one integration across multiple countries and for providing banking services via licensed banking partners that are members of deposit insurance schemes; the website references 5,000+ merchants using the platform.
