What is Better Pay

One platform. Every institution. Every payment.

Better Pay is a multi-tenant payment management platform built for financial institutions operating in Cameroon and the CEMAC region. It enables banks, microfinance cooperatives, and their partners to collect mobile money payments from clients, and automatically post those collections into their core banking systems via GBPAY.

Whether you run a cooperative with 50 member schools or a microfinance with hundreds of partner businesses, Better Pay gives every institution its own branded payment environment: fully isolated, fully configurable, and connected to the GIMAC network through GBPAY.

How it works

From setup to first payment in under a day.

01

Institution Setup

A Better Pay administrator onboards your institution, configures your payment gateway (GBPAY or TranZak), and creates your Finance Admin account. This takes less than 30 minutes.

02

Partner Onboarding

Your Finance Admin creates partner accounts for each school, clinic, or business. Partners configure their pay types, upload their logo, and generate payment links. Ready in minutes.

03

Customers Pay

Customers scan a QR code or open a payment link. They enter their phone number, confirm the amount, and approve the USSD prompt on their MTN or Orange phone. Payment confirmed in seconds.

04

Funds Deposited

Better Pay automatically sends collected funds to the partner's bank account via GBPAY. The Finance Admin sees every deposit in real time with full reconciliation status.

For developers

Your systems. Our payment rails.

Better Pay includes a full REST API that lets your existing software, such as internet banking, mobile banking, ERP, or student information system, initiate payments and withdrawals programmatically, without using the Better Pay portal at all.

  • Collect mobile money payments via a single API call
  • Initiate withdrawals: debit bank account → credit mobile money wallet
  • Signed webhook callbacks with HMAC-SHA256 verification
  • Strict IP whitelisting per API client for institutional security
  • Sandbox mode for safe integration testing before going live
  • Real-time transaction status polling
