CASAIPAY Open CASAIPAY
Biometric payments for Nigeria and Africa at large

Your face is your account.

CASAIPAY lets you pay, send and collect money with your face, even when the network goes. One app for everyday people, shops and POS agents.

We're in our testing stage, so balances in the app are test money. Real naira starts once a licensed partner is in place.

Why we exist

Millions of Nigerians are still outside the system.

Nigeria's financial inclusion has grown: 73% of adults are now formally included and 6% use informal services only. But the people left behind are the hardest to reach, and being included has not meant being secure.

Not another payment app

We answer two questions together.

A financial institution asks"Can I trust this customer?"
CASAIPAY
A customer asks"Can I easily access my money when I need it?"

We are not building because fintech is growing. We are building because there is still a gap between financial institutions and millions of people, especially in the informal economy. A verified identity is the bridge.

How it works

Simple enough for any market stall.

Pay at a shop

  1. The shop types in the amount and hands over the phone.
  2. You scan your face, or enter your passcode.
  3. CASAIPAY checks your balance.
  4. One slide, and it's paid.

Send money

  1. Enter a username, or a bank account number.
  2. Type in the amount.
  3. Approve it with your face or passcode.
  4. It's sent, with a receipt to keep.

Cash pickup

  1. Enter the receiver's name and phone number, and the amount.
  2. Scan their face if they're nearby, or set a passcode if they're far.
  3. A claim code is created for them.
  4. They collect the cash at a CASAIPAY shop or agent.

Security

Designed for real markets, not a lab.

Cameras fail in bad light. People get watched at the counter. Sometimes a person is not paying by choice. Each of these has an answer built in.

  • Face or passcode, every time

    Money only moves after you approve it. If the camera can't see you, your personal passcode takes over.

  • Distress unlock

    A separate passcode or face opens your account showing only the small balance you set, and our team is quietly alerted.

  • Your identity is checked

    New accounts open with your NIN, so the person behind each account is known.

  • One phone at a time

    Signing in on a new phone signs CASAIPAY out on the old one.

  • Offline, without overspending

    Offline payments come from money you set aside first, signed by your phone and confirmed when it reconnects.

  • Every naira accounted for

    Every movement is recorded on both sides of a double-entry ledger, with a receipt for you.

Questions

What people ask about CASAIPAY.

What is CASAIPAY?

CASAIPAY is a biometric identity and payment app built for Nigeria and Africa at large. Your face, with a passcode as backup, approves your payments, so you can pay, send money and collect cash without a card. The same app serves everyday users, shops and POS agents.

How do I pay with my face?

At a shop, the shop owner types the amount and hands you their phone. You scan your face, check the details, then slide to pay. You can also scan a shop's code on your own phone and approve the payment with your face.

What happens if my face scan does not work?

You can use your personal passcode instead, for example at night, in poor light or with a cracked camera.

Does CASAIPAY work without network?

Yes. With Offline Pay you set money aside while you have network, and can then pay with no network. Both people see the payment on their phones, and it settles when a phone reconnects. You can also sign in with no network using an offline passcode or your phone's own fingerprint or Face ID.

Can someone without a bank account receive money?

Yes, through cash pickup. The sender creates a claim code for ₦100 to ₦500,000 and chooses how the collector proves who they are: a face scan or a passcode. The collector then gets the cash at a CASAIPAY shop or POS agent.

Do I need a POS machine to run a shop or POS on CASAIPAY?

No. The phone you already own is the terminal. You can charge customers, pay out cash pickups, track sales and profit, and keep a separate wallet for your shop and your POS.

Does CASAIPAY charge to send money to another user?

No. Sending to another CASAIPAY user is instant and free.

What do I need to open a CASAIPAY account?

A phone number, a username, your NIN and a scan of your face. You also set a passcode as your backup.

Which languages does CASAIPAY support?

The app's assistants, Casmir and Debbie, answer by text or voice in English, Pidgin, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.

Does CASAIPAY work on Android and iPhone?

Yes. Open CASAIPAY in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen, and it works like an installed app.

Is CASAIPAY moving real money today?

Not yet. CASAIPAY is in its testing stage, so balances in the app are test money and you should not expect to withdraw real naira. Real money starts once a licensed partner is in place.

Is CASAIPAY a bank?

No. CASAIPAY is a technology company incorporated in Nigeria with the CAC. It provides the identity and payment technology, and customer funds will be held by a licensed partner.

The mission

Infrastructure for the next generation of financial access.

Let people receive money using their identity instead of an account number, and you change how millions of underserved Africans take part in the financial system.
