The problem

Running payments is a part-time job nobody signed up for.

Payments are scattered

Payroll on one bank portal, suppliers on another, bills on WhatsApp, airtime on a reseller site, petty cash in a notebook. Nothing reconciles.

No approvals, no trail

One person holds the bank token. There's no second pair of eyes, no record of who approved what, and no clean export when the accountant asks.

Tools are too heavy

Enterprise treasury suites assume a finance department. Most operating teams just need to pay people on time, with one login and a clear record.

The solution

One workspace for every payment your business makes.

Paysomethings replaces five tools with one. Save every person, supplier and phone number once. Send any payment from a single screen. Require a teammate to approve. Keep a complete, exportable record by default.

  • Payroll, suppliers, bills, airtime and petty cash in one account
  • Approvals and role-based access on every payment
  • Reference, date, amount and creator captured automatically
  • CSV export your accountant can open without complaint
  • Runs in any modern browser, on desktop or phone

Why now

The plumbing is finally ready. The workflow isn't.

Bank rails opened up

Direct API access to local rails and mobile money means a software workspace can move money the same way a bank app can — without forcing customers to switch banks.

Teams went distributed

Finance approvers, founders and accountants are rarely in the same room. The workflow has to live online, with audit built in.

Spreadsheets stopped scaling

As headcount, suppliers and recurring bills grow, the cost of a missed payment or an unreconciled month is bigger than the cost of the software that prevents it.

Who it helps

Built for businesses that pay people every day.

Paysomethings fits teams of every shape: studios, clinics, shops, field crews and founding teams. The examples below show how the product fits real operations — find the one closest to yours.

A design studio

Four in-house designers and a rotating roster of freelancers, each on a different bank. Save every payee once, then issue the entire pay run on the same Friday. A second teammate signs off the batch before it leaves, keeping the workflow accountable.

A multi-branch clinic

Each branch carries its own power, water, internet and cleaning bills. The administrator logs them in the Bills section with a due date, plans the week ahead and attaches the receipt once each bill is settled, so reconciliation is straightforward.

A field operations team

Sales representatives and field agents rely on airtime and data to do their work. Build the list of numbers once, then repeat the same top-up each week. Every transaction is logged with date, number, amount and operator for clean reporting.

A founder paying their first hires

A founder, two staff and a few contractors. A full accounting suite is unnecessary at this stage. What you need is a tidy record of who was paid, when and how much — exportable as CSV the moment your accountant asks.

An office managing petty cash

Cash leaves the office each week for transport, supplies, repairs and small jobs. Record each one with a category and a short note. At month end, the picture is clear and refilling the float takes minutes.

Solutions

One platform for every disbursement your business makes.

Each kind of payment has a dedicated home inside the workspace. Adopt the modules you need today and add the rest as you grow. Most teams start with payroll or bills.

Payroll

Pay your team

Save every staff member and contractor once — name, bank, amount, currency — and they appear in every future pay run. Issue salaries on payday in minutes, with optional approval from a second user. Each payment carries its own reference so recipients can match it to their statement.

Supplier payments

Pay your suppliers

Manage your supplier list alongside bank details, invoice numbers, due dates and notes. Pay a single supplier or queue a batch for combined approval. The invoice number and reference accompany each payment so suppliers always know what has been settled.

Bills

Track your bills

Rent, utilities, internet, fuel and subscriptions live in one list, ordered by due date. See what is coming up this week, mark bills as paid, and leave a note for the next cycle. The chase for receipts at month end ends here.

Airtime

Buy airtime in bulk

Top up phones for staff, agents and field teams without scratch cards or one-at-a-time purchases. Build the list of numbers once, choose the amount, and send the entire batch from a single screen, fully logged for compliance.

Petty cash

Track small cash spend

Record every petty-cash payment with a category, a short note and the recipient. At the end of the week or month, export the list for a clear view of where the cash went — far cleaner than a paper book and a folder of receipts.

One workspace

Everything under one login

Every module above shares the same workspace, the same payee list and the same approval rules. One login, one record, one source of truth for the finance function.

Why Paysomethings

Controls that match how your team works.

Approvals, roles and a complete audit trail are the spine of the product, not optional extras. Set the rules once and the workspace enforces them on every payment that follows.

If a workflow you depend on is missing, tell us. Customer requests shape the roadmap.

Approvals

Add a second pair of eyes to any payment. Require another user to authorise the transaction before the money leaves your account.

User roles

Invite your accountant, office manager and backup admin at the access level each one needs. Visibility and permissions follow responsibility.

Reporting

Review what has been paid, to whom, and when. Filter by module, by month or across the entire workspace, and export to CSV in a format your accountant can use immediately.

Audit-ready records

Date, amount, reference and creator are attached to every payment. If anything needs investigating, the trail is already there, in order.

How it works

From sign-up to a paid bill, in four steps.

A complete view of the workflow, so you know exactly what to expect before you create an account.

Step 01

Create your account

Sign up with your email and set up the workspace with your company details. Invite the teammates who will help run payments. The whole process takes a few minutes.

Step 02

Add your payees

Add staff, contractors, suppliers and the phone numbers you top up. Enter them individually or import a list. Once saved, their details never need to be entered again.

Step 03

Send and approve

Initiate a payment with the amount and reference, then send. If the workspace requires approval, it waits until an authorised teammate signs off. Pending items are visible to everyone with access.

Step 04

Maintain the record

Every payment is filed in the workspace history with its date, amount, reference and creator. Filter, search or export to CSV whenever an accountant or auditor asks.

On your phone

Manage payments wherever you are.

Paysomethings runs in any modern mobile browser. The layout adapts to your phone, so you can sign in on the move, review what is pending and release a payment in a few taps. Nothing to install.

The team

Operators building for operators.

Paysomethings is built by a focused team that has spent years close to the problem: running payroll for distributed teams, chasing suppliers, reconciling airtime spend, and explaining missing receipts to accountants.

We answer support ourselves. Every email reaches a person who can change the product. Customer requests are reviewed weekly and shape what ships next.

The ask

If you pay people every day, give us 60 seconds.

Create a free account, save one payee, and run a test payment. If the workflow saves your team an hour next week, keep using it. If it doesn't, close the account and we'll remove what we're permitted to remove.
