Company
Payment infrastructure for Ethiopian businesses
Sabi Financial Technology S.C. builds the rails a business needs to take money in and send it out, across the wallets, banks and cards its customers already use.
Why Sabi
Getting paid should not depend on which app your customer has
Ethiopians pay with telebirr, CBE Birr, M-PESA, bank transfers and cards. A business that wants to accept all of them can end up with a separate arrangement for each, and a spreadsheet to reconcile them.
Sabi puts every method behind one checkout, one balance and one API, and gives the business a dashboard that shows where every birr came from and where it went.
How we build
Rules the product enforces, not promises on a page
A payment is only shown once it is booked
A settlement and the record that announces it are written together, in one database transaction. Nothing a business sees can be ahead of its books.
The price you were charged stays the price on record
Fees are frozen onto each transaction when it is priced. Changing a rate tomorrow never rewrites what happened today.
No balance goes below zero
Every way money leaves an account is checked against what can actually be spent, and the database refuses anything that would overdraw.
Test money never meets real money
Every business has separate test and live books, with separate keys, so practising can never move a real birr.
