A national electricity utility serving over three million customers was struggling with manual billing processes, fragmented payment channels, and low collection efficiency. Customers paid through multiple banks, mobile money providers, and physical offices, yet the utility lacked real-time visibility into payments. This led to frequent disputes, delayed account updates, and high operational costs associated with manual reconciliation and customer support.

Service Cops Group implemented an E-Collections platform that aggregated all payment channels into a single, unified system. The solution enabled customers to pay electricity bills via mobile money, banks, online platforms, and authorised agents, while providing the utility with real-time dashboards for payment tracking and automated reconciliation. The platform was integrated directly into the utility’s billing systems, ensuring accurate and immediate account updates.

Following deployment, the utility gained real-time visibility into payments across all channels, dramatically improving financial control and forecasting. Collection rates improved by 25%, while payment-related disputes were reduced by 90% due to clear, verifiable transaction records. Customers benefited from greater convenience and faster service, and the utility realised millions of dollars in annual operational cost savings through reduced manual processing and improved efficiency.

A leading commercial bank in East Africa sought to extend its services beyond urban centres to underserved rural and peri-urban communities. Traditional branch expansion was capital-intensive, slow to deploy, and economically unviable in low-density areas. As a result, millions of potential customers remained unbanked, limiting financial inclusion and constraining the bank’s long-term growth strategy.

Service Cops Group partnered with the bank to deploy its Agent Banking Platform, enabling everyday retail outlets such as shops, fuel stations, and pharmacies to function as fully enabled banking agents. Within months, the platform supported over 10,000 agents, each equipped to offer services including account opening, deposits, withdrawals, bill payments, and balance inquiries. The platform was designed for high availability, regulatory compliance, and real-time transaction monitoring to ensure trust and operational integrity.

Within 24 months, the bank achieved a 400% expansion in its service footprint without the need for physical branches. More than two million previously unbanked customers were onboarded, while cost-to-serve was reduced by 60% compared to traditional branch banking. The agent network now processes over 500,000 transactions monthly, creating new revenue streams for agents and strengthening local economies. The initiative significantly advanced the bank’s financial inclusion objectives while delivering measurable commercial returns.

A regional network of more than 5,000 schools across Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda faced persistent challenges in managing school fees and related payments. Each institution relied on a mix of cash payments, bank deposits, and manual record-keeping, resulting in fragmented data, delayed reconciliation, and limited transparency for school administrators, parents, and governing bodies. As a result, administrative teams spent nearly 40% of their time reconciling payments and resolving disputes rather than focusing on academic delivery and student welfare.

Service Cops Group deployed the SchoolPay platform, a purpose-built education payments and collections solution designed to operate reliably across diverse banking and mobile money ecosystems. The platform was integrated with 15 commercial banks and three major mobile money operators, enabling parents to pay school fees through channels they already trusted. Real-time dashboards provided schools and school networks with instant visibility into collections, outstanding balances, and payment trends, while automated reconciliation eliminated manual processing errors.

The impact was transformative. Reconciliation cycles were reduced by 95%, moving from multi-week delays to real-time settlement and reporting. Over USD 500 million in annual school fees were processed transparently through the platform, significantly strengthening financial governance across the network. On-time payment rates increased by 40%, parent satisfaction scores improved by 35%, and schools recorded a 50% reduction in administrative costs, allowing resources to be redirected toward teaching quality and infrastructure development.
