Payments land in seconds — not days

Send the reason,
not just the money.

Every transfer home has a purpose. Topa pays it directly — electricity, water, school fees, groceries, airtime — delivered to your family in Zimbabwe & Africa in seconds. From the UK or any part of the world. No queues. No middlemen. And soon, cash too. One app for every essential.

Where the money was meant to go

You're in the UK.
The need is in Harare.
Topa closes the gap.

When you send cash, your relative still has to find a kombi, travel into town, queue and pay — losing half a day and part of the money on the way. Topa connects you straight to the reason you're sending: you pay the school, the utility or the shop directly, and your family receives exactly what you meant. In seconds.

The old way

  • Send money, wait for collection
  • Bus fare into town
  • Hours in the queue
  • Fees lost along the way
  • “Did you pay it?” phone calls

With Topa

  • Pick the essential, tap pay
  • Paid to the provider in seconds
  • Instant receipt for both of you
  • Every pound goes where you meant it
  • Peace of mind — done
Three taps. That's it.

How Topa works

Built for people with busy lives and family far away. No forms every time, no waiting, no guessing.

1

Create your free account

Sign up in a couple of minutes with your UK details. One account covers every service and every relative you support.

2

Choose the service & who it's for

Electricity meter, water account, school, phone number or shop. Save the details once — pay them again in one tap.

3

Pay. They're notified instantly.

The provider is paid directly and your family gets the token, receipt or voucher on their phone within seconds.

Try it — no account needed

See how fast “paid” can be.

Pick a service, press pay, and watch the clock. This is a simulation — the real thing is just as quick.

Compare that to a morning in a queue at the council offices.

Pay the essential directly — or send the money.

What's in a name
Topa.
We share.

Topa is Shona for “we are giving” — and it sounds like top up, because that's what you do with it. It comes from Ubuntu: I am because we are. Giving isn't a transaction; it's how families stay whole across oceans.

“You don't stop being a son, a daughter, an aunt or a brother because you moved. Topa just makes sure the giving still lands.”
