What’s new in Montra
New corridors, faster payouts and better controls, shipped every couple of weeks. Here’s what changed recently.
Version
4.8
New
Direct cedi to shilling payouts
Pay Kenyan suppliers straight from a cedi balance in one conversion.
GHS to KES now converts directly at one mid-market rate plus our usual fee, instead of routing through dollars.
Payouts settle on PesaLink or M-Pesa, usually in under a minute. Available on every plan.
Version
4.7
Improved
Rate alerts in your team chat
Rate alerts can now notify a shared channel as well as email.
Set a target on any of 38 pairs and choose who hears about it: individual emails, a shared channel, or both.
Alerts now include a one-tap link to lock the rate for 24 hours.
Version
4.6
Improved
Bulk uploads up to 5,000 rows
Bulk payout files can now hold 5,000 rows, up from 1,000.
Larger files are checked in the background, and you can keep working while we validate every row.
Problem rows are listed with a plain reason, so you can fix and re-upload just those.
Version
4.5
New
Name check for UK recipients
We now confirm the account name with UK banks before a pound payment leaves.
Name check already covered Nigeria, Kenya and the EU. UK recipients are now checked too, before any money moves.
If the name doesn’t match, you’ll see the name the bank holds and can cancel or edit the payment.
Version
4.4
Fixed
Faster statement exports
Monthly statements with more than 10,000 lines now export in seconds.
We rebuilt statement generation so large PDF and CSV exports no longer time out.
Statements now include the mid-market rate alongside the rate you received for every conversion.
Version
4.3
New
Approval rules by recipient
Require a specific approver for payments to chosen recipients.
Add rules like “any payment to a new recipient needs the finance lead” alongside amount and currency rules.
Every approval is recorded in the audit log with who approved, when and from which device.
