01Recipients
Dignity at the counter.
Confirm the amount, enter your PIN, and tap at an approved shop. No smartphone or paper voucher required.
Open-source core in preparation. Fixed fees. NGO control.
Local aid. In your hands.
Run an NGO-controlled voucher programme with reusable cards, local shops and an auditable trail. Recipients use a card and PIN; your team controls the funds and pays shops directly.
Designed for offline purchases and connected registration and reloads. Programme-ready cards arrive without recipient identity, PIN or allowance; your NGO issues them at its card station.
Pilot evaluation stage. Hardware and end-to-end field checks must pass before deployment. See what is verified.

How the programme works
Simple for recipients
No recipient app or wallet. Confirm the amount, enter a PIN, and tap the physical card.
Simple for shops
Approved shops use an NFC Android phone and see a clear result after the card commits the debit.
Run by your team
Your NGO trains shops and uses a connected card station for registration and scheduled reload sessions.
Clear evidence
Synced claims, domestic shop payments, and exports create an auditable programme trail.
Start with one local programme.
We supply the cards and connected station, then hand over the workflow remotely. Your team runs the field operation and pays shops through its normal domestic route. Cash may be more appropriate where voucher restrictions or offline access are not justified.
§02 · Why ReliefPay
More programme value, measured without cutting safeguards.
ReliefPay aims to increase the share of programme resources reaching intended recipients while safeguarding effectiveness, equity, dignity and accountability. We will compare each pilot with the NGO's existing voucher workflow and publish cost, access, dignity and protection outcomes together.
