KCB and Pesapal Partner to Digitize Fuel Stations in East Africa
Transforming Fuel Retail Through Technology
Pesapal has partnered with KCB Bank Kenya to modernize fuel station operations across East Africa. The initiative will roll out Pesapal’s Forecourt Management Solution to more than 10,000 fuel dealers.
The technology combines advanced operational tools with innovative financing models to streamline fuel dispensing, sales, inventory tracking, payments, and reconciliation.
A Digital Solution Built for Efficiency
The Forecourt Management Solution offers an integrated platform that simplifies the daily running of fuel stations. It reduces manual errors, minimizes inventory losses, and improves payment processing.
In addition, it gives fuel dealers real-time insights that support faster decision-making. These improvements help station owners operate more efficiently while preparing them for long-term growth in a digital market.
Driving Financial Access Through Data
The partnership supports KCB’s Oil and Gas Ecosystem and Value Chain Banking Proposition. By using real-time data from Pesapal’s platform, the bank can assess creditworthiness more accurately.
This approach allows KCB to offer stock financing and working capital solutions that match each dealer’s performance. As a result, fuel businesses gain access to capital that was previously out of reach.
KCB Bank Kenya Managing Director Annastacia Kimtai said the partnership reflects the bank’s commitment to technology and innovation.
She noted that KCB aims to provide solutions that enhance operational efficiency, sustainability, and growth across the oil and gas value chain.

Meeting the Industry’s Evolving Needs
East Africa’s petroleum sector is undergoing rapid change. New regulations, rising consumer demand for digital services, and the need for transparency continue to push the industry toward technology-driven operations. The Pesapal–KCB collaboration directly addresses these challenges.
Pesapal Founder Agosta Liko emphasized the importance of the partnership. He explained that Pesapal built its system specifically for Africa’s fuel ecosystem.
By combining the platform with KCB’s wide reach and financing expertise, dealers can reduce revenue leakages, meet compliance standards, and access growth capital, often for the first time.
A Milestone for Digital Transformation
This partnership marks a significant step forward for both organizations. For Pesapal, it expands the impact of years of investment in fuel technology.
For KCB, it reinforces a strategy centered on supporting the oil and gas sector through financing, digital innovation, and value chain solutions.
Moreover, the initiative aligns with KCB’s broader goal to digitize value chains, reduce reliance on cash, and promote sustainable financial solutions.
As the sector evolves, the partnership positions fuel dealers to thrive in a more efficient and transparent marketplace.
