craft your savings

Every deposit, one step higher.

Pesacraft turns every M-Pesa deposit into steady progress you can see — save on your own, or with your chama. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.

progress, built one deposit at a time

what it is

A savings wallet built on M-Pesa, not a spreadsheet.

Pesacraft is a savings app for the Kenyan mobile-money market. Deposit straight from M-Pesa, watch a real ledger track every shilling, and withdraw back to your phone whenever you need to — no branch visits, no paperwork to get started.

how it works

Three stages, same as any living thing.

01 — germinate

Verify your phone number

Sign up with just your phone number and a one-time code. No forms, no branch visit — you're in within a minute.

02 — take root

Send money in seconds

Tap deposit, confirm the prompt on your phone. STK Push moves cash from M-Pesa straight into your wallet — no card, no bank branch.

03 — grow

Every shilling is accounted for

Behind the scenes, a double-entry ledger posts every deposit and withdrawal. Nothing moves unless the books balance to zero.

04 — bloom

Withdraw whenever you need to

Watch your balance grow, then pull it back out to M-Pesa on your terms. No lock-ins in phase one.

built to last

A foundation for real money, not a prototype.

Built on M-Pesa

Deposit and withdraw straight from the number you already use, via Safaricom's Daraja STK Push and B2C.

A ledger, not a balance column

Every transaction is a journal entry that has to sum to zero. That's how banks keep books — not a number that can silently drift.

Verified by phone, not paperwork

Get started with just your phone number. Fuller verification unlocks higher limits as you grow.

Full transaction history

Every deposit and withdrawal is timestamped and searchable, so your balance is never a mystery.

Save with your chama

Goals and group savings are next on the roadmap — built on the same ledger as everything else, so the accounting never has to be re-plumbed.

No lock-ins

Phase one is a straightforward wallet: your money moves back to M-Pesa whenever you ask it to.

who it's for

Built for how Kenyans already save.

Everyday savers

You already move money on M-Pesa daily. Pesacraft gives that habit somewhere structured to land.

Chamas and groups

Group savings and shared goals are designed into the ledger from day one, and are next on the roadmap.

Anyone starting small

No minimum balance, no paperwork to open an account — just a phone number and a one-time code.

trust & security

Your money, accounted for like a bank would.

Double-entry, always balanced

Every deposit and withdrawal is posted as a journal entry that must sum to zero inside a database transaction — the same discipline banks use to keep their books honest.

Native M-Pesa rails

Deposits and withdrawals run through Safaricom's Daraja API — the same infrastructure M-Pesa itself is built on.

Verification that scales with you

Start with just a verified phone number. Fuller identity verification unlocks higher transaction limits as you need them.

Pesacraft is a technology platform. Deposits and withdrawals move through Safaricom M-Pesa; wallet balances are recorded on an internal double-entry ledger.

frequently asked questions

Straight answers, no fine print games.

What is Pesacraft?

Pesacraft is a savings app that lets you deposit money from M-Pesa into a personal wallet, track every transaction on a real ledger, and withdraw back to M-Pesa whenever you need to.

How do I deposit money?

Tap deposit in the app and confirm the M-Pesa STK Push prompt on your phone. Your wallet is credited as soon as Safaricom confirms the payment.

How do I withdraw my money?

Request a withdrawal in the app. Pesacraft sends the funds to your M-Pesa number via Safaricom's B2C service — there's no lock-in period in phase one.

Is my money safe?

Every transaction is recorded as a double-entry journal entry that must balance to zero, so your balance is always a verifiable sum of real transactions, not a number that can drift or be edited directly.

Do I need a bank account to sign up?

No. Sign-up only needs a phone number and a one-time code sent by SMS. Higher transaction limits unlock as you complete fuller verification.

Is there a minimum amount to start saving?

No minimum balance is required to open a wallet — deposit whatever amount you're ready to save.
