M-Pesa Reconciliation Software - Bank Payment Reconciliation

Reconciling M-Pesa and bank payments is one of the most time-consuming tasks for property managers in Kenya. Manually matching hundreds of transactions every month, verifying amounts, and ensuring accuracy takes hours. With Blocks PMS, you can automate payment reconciliation and save 10-15 hours per month.

The Challenge of Manual Payment Reconciliation

Without automation, payment reconciliation is a nightmare:

• Time-Consuming: Manually matching M-Pesa receipts to tenant records takes 5-8 hours monthly
• Error-Prone: Matching errors lead to incorrect tenant balances
• Bank Reconciliation: Manually reconciling bank statements is tedious
• Unmatched Payments: Payments without references are difficult to match
• Delayed Reconciliation: Reconciliation often happens days or weeks late
