About SilkBridge

SilkBridge Africa is a Nairobi-based company that helps importers, traders and SMEs in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania pay Chinese suppliers in renminbi (RMB). Customers submit a payment request online without needing an account.

A team member in Nairobi reviews the invoice, verifies the beneficiary and tracks the payment end to end before any money moves. The website offers a cost calculator, request tracking, use cases, a blog and WhatsApp contact. The model combines an online request flow with human review, so the balance between technology and manual service is not fully clear from available sources.
