Sectors

Our Focus Areas

Pentapay is using behavioral payment data and who you trust to do business with to build a reliable & traceable network of enterprise transactions.

01

FMCG & Wholesale Distribution

This sector involves thousands of distributors and micro-retailers who transact daily on tight margins, with a high dependency on informal credit and mobile payments.

Key Pain Point: Distributors offer goods on credit without data, risking defaults and slow payments.

02

Agriculture & Agro-Input Supply Chains

Smallholder farmers and agro-dealers often rely on supplier credit, especially during planting seasons. Payments are delayed until harvest or market sales.

Key Pain Point: Agro-dealers extend credit informally without repayment tracking or recovery systems.

03

Education

PentaPay provides a smarter way to manage school fees by allowing parents to pay in structured, flexible installments. Our system automates invoicing, tracks payments in real-time, and ensures schools receive steady cash flow without chasing families. 

Key Pain Point: Schools can vet parents, and parents can ease payment pressure

What We Provide 

01

Verified Customer Onboarding (KYB)

Merchants can digitally onboard and verify B2B customers (retailers, farmers, contractors) using the Penta Score This helps eliminate fraud, reduce risky credit exposure, and build a trusted client base.

02

Embedded Access to Credit for Merchants

PentaPay empowers merchants not just to extend credit, but to receive it themselves from banks and lenders. 

03

Automated Invoice Management

Instead of chasing payments manually, merchants benefit from PentaPay’s Agentic-AI collection engine, which sends SMS, WhatsApp, and email reminders, improving recovery rates while saving time and staff costs.

04

Real-Time Receivables Dashboard

Merchants get a clear overview of all outstanding payments, due dates, customer repayment history, and risk profiles. This makes it easier to make credit decisions, plan inventory, and access financing.

05

Invoice Insurance & Risk Mitigation

PentaPay enables merchants to insure their invoices against non-payment or late settlement, especially in high-risk sectors like construction or agro-trade. 

PentaPay’s system can flag high-risk invoices based on PentaScore and automatically recommend insurance coverage or reserves.
