What is Blipply?

Blipply is a digital wallet platform that enables users to make secure, cashless payments online and in physical stores. It offers an easy way to manage daily transactions, helping you streamline your finances while ensuring security through advanced technology. Whether you're paying for groceries, or purchasing goods online, Blipply simplifies the payment process and keeps your transactions safe.

Why use Blipply?

Blipply is more than just a payment app. It provides users with:

  • Convenience: With a few taps, you can shop at various merchants, use the map feature to find nearby stores, or arrange home delivery of items.

  • Security: Blipply's QR code and PIN protection systems ensure that your money is safe. The KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process adds an extra layer of security by confirming your identity.

  • Financial Empowerment: Using Blipply consistently helps you build a financial history, essential for improving your credit score and accessing financial services, such as loans.

Setting up your account

Setting up your Blipply account is a quick and simple process, designed to get you started as soon as possible.

  1. Download the Blipply app: Start by downloading the app from your device's app store.

  2. Account creation: Enter your phone number and create a secure PIN. This PIN will be used to authorize your transactions and protect your account.

  3. Link your payment wallet: Blipply works seamlessly with wallets like Vooma, KCB, Airtel, or MPESA. Best of all, enjoy zero transaction fees when paying with Vooma at any Blipply-connected shop!  During setup, you’ll be asked to link your wallet to make top-ups, withdrawals, and payments.

  4. Complete KYC (know your customer) verification: To access all features and ensure security, you’ll need to complete a KYC process by uploading identification documents, such as your national ID and proof of address.

Managing your account on multiple devices

Blipply allows you to log in from multiple devices, but for added security, each new device login requires verification via an SMS code. This ensures your account is protected even if your phone is lost or stolen.

Account security tips

Keep your PIN secure, and never share it with anyone.

  1. Regularly update your app to benefit from the latest security features.

  2. Ensure your ID verification documents are clear to avoid any delays in the KYC process.
