HesabPay's Blockchain Aid Platform Expands Global Reach

News Flash 2026-01-26 14:17

HesabPay, an Afghan startup, is revolutionizing humanitarian aid delivery with its blockchain-based platform, gaining traction globally. The platform, which allows instant digital wallet transfers, has been instrumental in providing aid to over 86,000 families in Afghanistan, with support from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Mercy Corps is collaborating with HesabPay to extend its reach to Syria, Sudan, and Haiti, overcoming challenges like high transfer fees and cash shortages. Founded by Afghan-American entrepreneur Sanzar Kakar, HesabPay operates with an official financial license from the Afghan government. The platform currently manages over 650,000 wallets in Afghanistan, facilitating approximately $60 million in monthly transactions. Since February 2025, the UN has distributed nearly $25 million through 80,000 digital wallets using HesabPay, enhancing transaction traceability and accountability. Despite its advantages, the platform faces risks, particularly with local currency stablecoins. However, its ability to track and monitor transactions in real-time offers a level of security and transparency that traditional cash aid lacks, potentially restoring trust in aid effectiveness. HesabPay's innovative approach is seen as a model for future humanitarian aid efforts.
