The verdict in three sentences
The Kolonell commission program rests on a transparent scale by segment: the higher the ticket, the lower the percentage, but the higher the absolute amount. Payments are made in monthly mobile money, attribution lasts 90 days and there is no cap. A single institutional contract of 15,000,000 FCFA pays 1,200,000 FCFA to the referrer.
The full structure by segment
The scale rewards both volume (showcase sites) and value (institutional). The 5 % recurring only applies to showcase maintenance, but that is what builds passive income over time.
| Segment | Sale commission | Recurring | Typical ticket 2026 | Unit commission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Showcase | 15 % | 5 %/month maintenance | 500,000 FCFA | 75,000 FCFA |
| E-commerce | 12 % | — | 2,000,000 FCFA | 240,000 FCFA |
| Marketplace | 10 % | — | 5,000,000 FCFA | 500,000 FCFA |
| Institutional | 8 % | — | 15,000,000 FCFA | 1,200,000 FCFA |
The percentage drops as the ticket rises, but 8 % of 15M weighs far more than 15 % of 500,000. The winning strategy: mix showcase volume with one big institutional catch per quarter.

Moussa, an independent consultant in Kigali, has a strong network of executives. In one quarter he refers: 2 Growth showcase sites, 1 e-commerce, and above all 1 institutional site for an insurance company.
- 2 showcase sites: 2 × 75,000 = 150,000 FCFA
- 1 e-commerce: 12 % × 2,000,000 = 240,000 FCFA
- 1 institutional: 8 % × 15,000,000 = 1,200,000 FCFA
- Quarter total: 1,590,000 FCFA, i.e. ~530,000 FCFA/month averaged
The institutional catch alone represents 75 % of his quarterly income: hence the value of also aiming at big tickets, not just volume.
FAQ
Why does the percentage drop on big tickets? Because the absolute value explodes: 8 % of 15M = 1,200,000 FCFA, versus 75,000 FCFA for a showcase. The scale stays very favorable to the referrer.
Does the 5 % recurring apply to all segments? No, it applies to showcase maintenance (50,000-200,000 FCFA/month). On 100,000 FCFA/month, you earn 5,000 FCFA every month.
How is a lead's attribution proven? Each prospect is logged on entry into the dashboard; the 90-day window protects your commission even for long sales cycles.
Is there a fee to join? No, registration in the referral program is free and non-binding.
Can I refer from a country other than Rwanda? Yes, the program covers all of West Africa and the diaspora; payouts adapt to local mobile money.
