Why we exist
The problems we work on
Every Medkana product starts from a problem people actually live with, and the institutional gap that keeps it unsolved.
- Merchants take digital payments all day yet cannot say what they sold, what they earned, or what to show a lender.
- Tips are mixed with revenue, so the people who earn them lose them to disputes and guesswork.
- Households see a balance, never a pattern. Planning tools ignore Ethiopian calendars, languages, and connectivity.
- Property auctions run on notice boards and rumor. Buyers can't trust condition; sellers can't reach demand.
- A prepaid balance hits zero and life stops mid-call, usually for the person who needs the call most.
- Banks and mobile money operators own the rails but lack the engagement layer that keeps merchants and users active.
- Lenders want to serve SMEs but have no reliable data on how small businesses actually trade.
- Telecom operators lose revenue on every failed call and every zero-balance moment across the network.
- Reconciliation across wallets, banks, and cash is still manual: spreadsheets, paper, and end-of-month surprises.
- Institutions that try to build all this in-house spend years on software that is not their core business.
Our products
One company. Many products.
Salesify
Real-time sales tracking, tip separation, and lending-grade summaries, deployed white-label by banks and mobile money operators.
BirrBook
A finance companion built for Ethiopia first: bilingual, on the Ethiopian calendar, fully offline-capable, inside the wallets people already use.
Addis Auction House
Ethiopia's digital property auction platform: transparent bidding, independent inspection certification, escrow-backed settlement. Launching on its own platform.
Call Completion Suite
Pay4U, Pay4Me, and Auto Airtime Loan turn failed zero-balance calls into completed calls, and completed calls into operator revenue.
How we build
The principles behind every Medkana product
Local context, built in
Low bandwidth, USSD fallback, multiple languages, agent networks. We design for the realities of the markets you serve, not a Silicon Valley abstraction.
White-label by default
Every screen, report, and notification carries your logo, your colors, your voice. Customers credit the experience to your institution in every detail.
API-first and modular
Deploy one module or all of them. Secure REST APIs, SDKs, and pre-built UI components meet your stack where it is. No rip-and-replace.
Compliance-ready
Data residency, role-based access, audit trails, encryption at rest and in transit, and regulator-ready logging from day one.
Fast to pilot
A typical first-module pilot ships in six to twelve weeks. Roll out to one merchant segment first, measure, then scale with confidence.
A partner, not a vendor
We embed with your team, help design the rollout, and support your merchants when they need it. The engagement begins at the signature.

What exactly does MEDKANA do?
Medkana Solutions is a technology company that designs, builds, and operates financial software products for emerging markets: Salesify for merchant intelligence, BirrBook for personal finance, the Call Completion Suite for telecom operators, and Addis Auction House for property markets.
Who are your customers?
Banks, mobile money operators, and telecom operators. End users (merchants and consumers) interact with our products inside your apps and networks, branded as you. We never go direct to consumers.
Do you compete with the institutions you serve?
No. Medkana is an infrastructure partner. The wallet, the merchants, and the customer relationships remain entirely yours.
How does integration work?
Secure REST API integration with your core banking, switch, mobile money, or network platform. No rip-and-replace, and your engineering team stays in the loop throughout. Sandbox environments are available for evaluation.
Are your products white-label?
Yes, fully. Every customer-facing surface carries your logo, your colors, and your voice. The experience is credited to your institution in every detail.
How long does deployment take?
A typical first-module pilot ships in six to twelve weeks: discovery, integration, white-label configuration, then a pilot with a defined segment before full rollout.
What is Addis Auction House and when does it launch?
Addis Auction House is our digital property auction platform for Ethiopia, with transparent bidding, independent inspection certification, and escrow-backed settlement. It launches on its own platform in 2026. Choose "Addis Auction House" on the contact form to register interest.
