Overview
Craft Silicon Limited is a payment company from Kenya listed in the public directory of authorised payment service providers of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). The regulator permits it to process payments on behalf of merchants.
Licence
- regulator: the Central Bank of Kenya;
- permitted service: payment processing on behalf of merchants;
- first licensed: 5 August 2022;
- listed in the CBK directory as of June 2026.
Being in the directory means the company operates under regulatory supervision. For partners this is a point in favour of reliability: the provider has been vetted and must meet the requirements for payment institutions.
What it means for merchants
Processing payments on behalf of merchants is an intermediary role: the provider collects money from buyers and passes it to the seller. Such a provider can connect a business to payment acceptance without the business needing its own licence.
What to clarify
The company does not publicly list specific payment methods, pricing or service countries. If you plan to operate in the Kenyan market, discuss the available payment methods and processing costs with the provider.
