Livestock traders buy cattle, goats and sheep from farmers and sell them on at weekly animal markets, to butchers, to other farmers and to families before festivals. A single animal can cost a lot, so traders and buyers often travel with large amounts of cash, which is risky on the road. Sales also involve transport, feed and market fees. A payments app that moves big payments instantly on the spot, keeps a record of each sale and lets traders pay farmers and transporters can win these traders, and every farmer and buyer they deal with sees your app.

Move big payments on the spot
Letting a buyer pay by phone the moment a deal is agreed means no bags of cash to count, carry or lose on the way home.
