  "account": "Nairobi, Kenya - CapitalPay UK and the Kenya International Freight and Warehousing Association (KIFWA) have joined forces to digitize payment and administrative processes for freight firms. Signed in October 2025, the agreement aims to streamline KIFWA's management of member payments, levies, and charges.\n\nWith this partnership, members receive invoices featuring unique payment references. These references enable members to pay through banks and mobile money, while payments are matched to the relevant member account. This system generates receipts and provides updated payment records and reports, reducing instances where payments cannot be easily linked to specific charges.\n\nKIFWA represents clearing and forwarding agents nationwide, with members of varying sizes operating in diverse locations. This collaboration is part of broader initiatives to digitize payment and administrative processes in Kenya's logistics and freight industry.",
  "summary": "The agreement, signed in October 2025, is aimed at improving how KIFWA manages membership payments, levies and other charges paid by its members.",
