Concept

Pay for your loved one,
from anywhere

With Request to Pay, a customer at a restaurant, market or shop can ask a relative — in Europe, the USA or elsewhere in Africa — to settle their bill instantly, without any prior money transfer.

The cashier clicks "Request to Pay", enters the phone number or email of the remote payer. That person receives an SMS or email containing a secure link. By clicking the link, the ElyonPay Virtual Payment Terminal appears on their smartphone with the full payment context.

💡 Unlike a classic money transfer, Request to Pay guarantees that funds are used exactly for the intended bill — no more, no less. Total traceability, zero risk of misuse.

As soon as the payment is confirmed, the merchant receives an instant notification and can deliver the goods or service.

How it works

4 steps, 30 seconds

A simple, secure and instant process from merchant to remote payer.

1

Cashier initiates

The customer wants their bill paid by a relative. The cashier clicks "Request to Pay" and enters the amount, then the remote payer's contact (phone or email).

2

Link is sent

A secure SMS or email is instantly sent to the remote payer, wherever they are in the world — even abroad. The link contains all payment details.

3

Payer settles

By clicking the link, the ElyonPay Virtual Payment Terminal appears on their smartphone with the full context. They choose their payment method (Mobile Money, card, transfer) and pay.

4

Instant confirmation

The merchant receives an instant payment notification. The goods or service are delivered immediately. A digital receipt is sent to both parties.
