Bill Payments

Your bank’s virtual market place

You probably already have billers and services integrated into your ecosystem. With the power of SmartGrid Digital OS, we provide a Biller aggregation platform, Kowri Business, that houses your billers, adds to your existing list of billers, and displays them on a larger virtual dedicated marketplace that connects them to more than 100,000 new potential customers that are already using cashless payments.

Kowri Business is a bill aggregation platform that makes bill payments and collections simple and convenient for service providers and their customers. Kowri Business provides features that allow service providers (billers) to monitor bill payment, manage their customers/bills, and foster customer loyalty. It caters for security, audit trails, nimble integrations and provides a wonderful user experience.

Additionally, Kowri provides a central location for collections where banks can receive payments on behalf of their billers. The service takes care of the technicalities setting up merchants so you have more time to focus on your relationship with your clients and service providers.

Kowri works in two ways;
