Solving the same problem
since 2012.

Gigva was founded in Nairobi in 2012 at a time when M-Pesa had already become the primary payment channel for millions of Kenyan businesses. The technology was mature. The volume was large. But the operational tooling for business owners had not kept pace — there was no straightforward way for a retail shop or distributor to connect their M-Pesa receipts to their invoices without downloading statements and working through them manually.

The company's first product was a desktop application that parsed M-Pesa statements and matched them against a manually maintained invoice list. It was not elegant, but it replaced a process that was costing our early customers several hours a week.

When Safaricom launched the Daraja API, we were among the first software providers to integrate with C2B webhooks. That integration transformed the product from a statement-processing tool into a real-time payment operations platform. Payments began appearing in customer dashboards within seconds of being made, and reconciliation shifted from a weekly batch process to a continuous, automated one.

Over thirteen years, the businesses we serve have grown more sophisticated in how they use financial data, and so has the platform. What has not changed is the focus: every feature in Gigva exists to make M-Pesa payment management faster, more accurate, and less dependent on manual work.
