The Collections Problem

Late repayments are the single biggest challenge for most MFIs. Field officers spend hours chasing borrowers, manual reconciliation is error-prone, and cash handling creates security risks.

How M-Pesa Changes Everything

With direct M-Pesa integration in your lending platform, borrowers can repay anytime from their mobile phone. The system:

**Automatically reconciles** every payment to the correct loan account

**Updates the borrower ledger** in real time

**Sends confirmation SMS** to the borrower

**Triggers reminders** before due dates

Real Results from Credit Stream Pro Clients

Institutions using our M-Pesa integration have reported:

**35% reduction** in PAR > 30 days within 6 months

M-Pesa integration with Credit Stream Pro requires a registered Paybill or Till number. Our onboarding team handles the technical setup — most clients are collecting via M-Pesa within their first week.
