How are donations processed?
Donations are securely processed through our PCI-compliant payment partners:

- Enter the amount you wish to withdraw
- Confirm your banking details
- Submit your request
Withdrawals are typically processed within 2-3 business days. There are no fees for withdrawals.
Can multiple people manage a campaign?
Yes! You can add team members as co-organizers to help manage your campaign:
- From your campaign dashboard, go to "Team Management"
- Invite team members via email
- Set permissions for each team member (edit campaign, view donations, etc.)
- Team members will need to create accounts to access the campaign
This is especially helpful for large campaigns or when fundraising for someone else.
What are the fees for using M-Seedly?
We believe in transparent pricing:
- Platform fee: 5% of each donation
- Transaction fee: 30 KES per donation
- No hidden fees: No setup fees, monthly fees, or withdrawal fees
These fees help us maintain a secure platform, provide customer support, and continue improving our services. On average, fundraisers keep 92.5% of each donation.
How long does it take to receive funds?
The timeline for receiving funds depends on several factors:
- First-time withdrawals: May take 3-5 business days for verification
- Subsequent withdrawals: Typically processed within 2-3 business days
- Payment method: Mobile money transfers are often faster than bank transfers
You can track the status of your withdrawal in your dashboard at any time.
