Miles come from real spend
Every Mile in circulation was funded by a merchant against a real purchase event. We don't manufacture engagement to generate Miles — frequency comes from transactions, not tricks.
About Akiba
Akiba is merchant-funded, mobile-money-embedded rewards — portable across every merchant in the network. Lower settlement cost means more value handed back to customers. We win on the two things legacy points programs can't do: relationship depth and interoperability.

Operating principles
Every Mile in circulation was funded by a merchant against a real purchase event. We don't manufacture engagement to generate Miles — frequency comes from transactions, not tricks.
A loyalty program where miles only work at one merchant is a discount scheme. Miles that work everywhere turn individual merchant relationships into a network. That's what we're building.
Merchants pay to defend share-of-wallet. Customers get back value from their own spend. The onchain ledger is immutable and auditable. Nothing is hidden.
What we've built
Akiba is Kenya's onchain loyalty network — 300K users, merchant-funded rewards on everyday spend, and a platform API that lets any app or fintech embed the full loyalty stack. We started with engagement mechanics on MiniPay, learned what drives retention, and are now building the infrastructure the thesis actually requires.
Akiba is built by Akiba Ecosystems Ltd and is not operated by MiniPay or Opera.
