Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about payments, biometrics, logistics, county collections and more.

Which payment rails does Fabs Data Warehouse support?
We support M-Pesa (Safaricom), DPO, Pesapal and Finserve out of the box. All four rails share one settlement engine, so bulk payouts, collections and reconciliation happen through a single API and dashboard.
How fast are bulk payouts processed?
M-Pesa payouts settle within seconds, typically T+0. DPO, Pesapal and Finserve settlements vary between T+0 and T+1 depending on the recipient bank. All batches are processed within minutes of submission.
What currencies can I collect and disburse?
KES, TZS, UGX, RWF, NGN, ZAR, USD, EUR and GBP. Multi-currency wallets are available on business and enterprise tiers, with automatic FX at settlement.
How does biometric verification work?
Every high-value payout passes through a fingerprint or iris check via the open-source Pay-off API. Users enroll once, then authorize individual transactions in under a second. All biometric data is hashed and stored per Kenya Data Protection Act.
Can biometric data be shared with third parties?
No. Biometric templates are cryptographically hashed and stored on encrypted infrastructure. They are never sold, shared or used for anything other than authorizing your own transactions.
How is DHL integrated?
We are an official DHL partner. You can generate AWB labels, book multi-carrier pickups, manage customs paperwork and track shipments in real time — all through MyDHL+ and the DHL Shipping Partner API, right inside your Fabs Data Warehouse dashboard.
Does Fabs Data Warehouse support cash-on-delivery?
Yes. When a shipment is dispatched, we automatically create a collection request against M-Pesa or DPO. Once the courier confirms delivery, the customer is charged and funds settle into your account.
How does county revenue collection work?
Residents pay for parking, markets, rates, permits and other county services via M-Pesa C2B or agent float. Each revenue stream is mapped with GIS coordinates and exported in IFMIS-ready format for treasury reporting.
Which counties use this platform?
We currently serve 12 counties across Kenya, with new deployments rolling out each quarter. Reach out to sales for a county-specific demo and integration plan.
Can I evaluate tender bids on the platform?
Yes. Publish tenders, collect quotations, score bids against weighted criteria, track milestones and link payroll and payment schedules to each award — all in one place. Compatible with Symphony and MindX Evaluate workflows.
Is Fabs Data Warehouse PCI-DSS compliant?
Yes. We are PCI-DSS aligned, encrypt all data at rest and in transit, enforce TLS 1.3, and require biometric authorization on high-value payouts. Full audit logs are available on all tiers.
What happens if a payout is disputed?
Every transaction carries an immutable audit trail with device fingerprint, biometric score, IP and timestamps. Disputes can be raised in the dashboard and resolved through the same rail that processed the original transaction.
