Pesapal

Pesapal is committed to making it easier for travel and hospitality players to do business whether online or as a point of sale. ResRequest has partnered with Pesapal; and our integration provides ResRequest users the freedom to accept a wide range of online payments.

Pesapal processes payments from anywhere in the world and settles to their business merchants in either USD (available for card payments only) or in the local currency of the countries that they support (available for card payments and mobile money). Your account will show a balance of both local and USD currencies if you opt to receive all methods of payment.

Countries supported

Pesapal supports and operates out of the following countries:

• Kenya

Card payments

International travellers also have the flexibility to use their preferred bank issued cards, making booking and payment easier for them. Visa, MasterCard and American Express card payments may be made in USD.

• Pesapal also enables merchants to accept payments from Virtual Cards.

Mobile payments
