Instant M-Pesa giving receipts
Connect the Paybill or Till members already use. The moment a tithe, offering, or pledge payment lands, Messo sends a branded receipt with the amount and M-Pesa code — the treasurer does not have to type it.

For the treasurer and the church office
The same Messo workspace, aimed at how a church actually collects.
Receipts, pledges, member lists, and notices live together. The treasurer sees who gave. The office reaches the members who need to know.
Pledges that stay current
Record tithes, offerings, pledges, and other contributions against each member. When money arrives, Messo applies it and can split one payment across more than one balance, then remind members who still owe.
Notices to the right members
Service times, meetings, harvest reminders, and giving follow-ups go out as campaigns. Templates keep the wording consistent from month to month.
Members grouped by department
Keep contacts in groups for a congregation, cell group, choir, usher team, or the whole membership. Message one department on its own, or everyone on the book, from the same list.
Notices drafted with AI
Describe the tithe reminder or the Sunday notice. Messo writes a GSM-friendly draft with placeholders for name, amount, and date already in place. Rewrite or shorten it, then send.
The church name on every SMS
A Sender ID replaces the random number. Members see the church or institution — on Safaricom, Airtel, Telkom, and Equitel — so the receipt is trusted and stays out of spam.
A dashboard the treasurer can use on a phone
The treasurer, the church office, and a pastor can send a follow-up, check delivery, and see who gave without waiting to get back to a computer.
A giving link in the SMS
Share a link for a fixed tithe, a pledge balance, or any amount. Members pay the Paybill or Till from the message, with the account number already set.
How a church goes live
