How it works
7Grant runs in four moves. The programme funds a controlled account for each beneficiary. The beneficiary identifies at a local shop through a channel they already carry. The platform checks merchant, category and limit, then pays the merchant at once. The donor report is assembled from the resulting transaction records.

What the programme controls and what the beneficiary sees at each step.
The programme creates a controlled account for each beneficiary. It can hold currency or physical units, and it carries its own categories, limits and permitted merchants.
At the shop, the beneficiary uses whatever they already carry: a wallet card, a messenger QR, a phone number spoken at the counter, or an anonymous card.
Before value moves, the platform confirms the merchant is on the whitelist and the purchase fits the category and the limit. The merchant is settled at the moment of sale.
Every transaction stores account, merchant, category, amount and time, with an optional receipt photo. The donor report is built from those records.
Each scheme is an ordered sequence at the counter. A programme can run one, or combine them on the same beneficiary.
The beneficiary scans a merchant QR in a messenger. The platform checks the whitelist, debits the targeted account, and the seller is paid in the same moment.
Best for
Open-market purchases at vetted shops
Vouchers for specific goods or fixed sets arrive in a messenger or wallet pass. The merchant's existing POS scanner reads them. No printing, no reconciliation.
Best for
Fixed rations, kits and seasonal sets
The beneficiary is identified by any channel. The merchant selects the purchase category, and the platform confirms it against the account's rules and limit.
Best for
Flexible allowances within set categories
Start from the entitlement and the phones people carry, not from the technology.
When beneficiaries have smartphones and shop at vetted merchants across open categories of goods.
When the entitlement is a fixed ration, a kit or a seasonal set that should arrive as goods, not money.
When some beneficiaries have no smartphone, or the programme allows flexible spending within set categories.
FAQ
Short, direct answers. Each links to the page with the detail.
Yes. In 7Grant one person can hold several accounts with different rules on each, so a strict ration and a flexible allowance can coexist on one beneficiary.
Category limits. The beneficiary can be identified by a phone number spoken at checkout or by an anonymous plastic card, and the merchant selects the category.
An unlisted merchant cannot be paid at all. Removal from the whitelist takes effect immediately.
At the moment of sale. There is no register of redeemed vouchers to assemble and submit first.
