A product of The Cathedral

The financial operating system for Kenya's independent shops.

KFOS turns a phone into a till, a lending desk, and a set of books — so a shopkeeper in Kasarani or Kisumu can sell on credit, restock on credit, and get paid the same way big retailers do, without a bank branch in sight.

M-Pesa native Offline-first KRA eTIMS compliant Kenya DPA 2019 compliant

Every credit sale on KFOS comes with a promise enforced in code, not marketing copy: facility fee, interest, and late fees combined can never exceed a fixed share of what was borrowed. If fees would stack past that line, KFOS absorbs the difference — never the borrower. We also publish a live, daily proof of reserves →

What it does

One app, the whole till.

Built from the ground up for the way Kenyan shops actually sell — cash, M-Pesa, and credit, often in the same basket.

🧾

Point of sale & inventory

Barcode scanning, loose/by-weight selling, split tender, receipts by SMS or print, and stock that updates itself with every sale.

💳

Buy Now, Pay Later

Shops extend credit to trusted customers at the till. Rates are frozen the moment a loan is issued and can never be changed retroactively.

📦

Stock credit for shops

A shop can restock on credit from its own suppliers — just-in-time financing that keeps shelves full without tying up cash.

🛡️

KFOS Trust Score

A running credit signal built from real repayment history — for both shops and customers — that grows credit limits the honest way.

🧮

Real books, automatically

Double-entry ledger, profit & loss, and KRA eTIMS-compliant tax receipts generated from the sales a shop is already making.

📶

Works with patchy signal

Offline-first by design — a sale, a stock count, or a clock-in still records with no connection, and syncs the moment it's back.

Who it's for

Three roles, one platform.

Shopkeepers & owners

Run one shop or several, sell on credit with confidence, and see real profit — not just revenue — every day.

Suppliers

Reach shops directly, get paid on your own terms, and grow a track record that unlocks bigger, faster orders.

Customers

Buy what you need today, pay for it on a schedule you can see in full before you agree to it — never after.
