Stika: Cashia's Private @Handle
By Aisha Hassan · Cashia hub
Stika is your unique @handle on Cashia (for example @yourstika). It lets you send and receive money without exposing your phone number. Your Stika has a scan-to-pay QR, so anyone can pay you by scanning or typing the handle.
How to get your Stika
In the Cashia app or at app.cashia.com, open your profile and claim your @handle. Pick something short and memorable, since it becomes your Cashia identity.
How Stika payments work
Someone paying you enters your @handle instead of your number. Or they scan your Stika QR. The transfer settles to your Cashia wallet like any other Cashia payment.
Why it matters
It keeps your phone number private, which reduces scam calls and spam. Cashia's tag line for it is "Bila kujiexpose".
Frequently asked
Do I need Stika to use Cashia?
No, but it is the easier way to be paid without sharing your phone number.
Is my Stika permanent?
Yes, once claimed it is yours on Cashia.
Can I get paid from M-PESA to my Stika?
You share your Stika inside Cashia; senders on M-PESA still send to your phone number linked to Cashia.
