02 May Simplicity of M-Pesa for Online Payment in Kenya Now Accessible to the Western World

Mobile payments in the developing world are life changing as compared to the developed world where they are a new channel for doing business.

This is different for 20m Kenyans who are part of an ecosystem as a result of being able to transact with M-Pesa.  With increasing bandwidth penetration and speed, these consumers are fast becoming part of the network of the developed world.

And in an economy which is growing at three to four times the rate of the the global economies.

Local Kenyans have not had the luxury of paying with credit cards and have made their own way.  They use M-Pesa to pay their doctor’s bills, shopping, and with any generation of mobile phone.  They are not restricted by the developed work parameters of having to pay with a smartphone.  Kenyans have been paying at the till with M-Pesa since time immemorial, whilst the developed nations are still coming to terms with this.

M-Pesa has helped Kenyans to leapfrog western nations with the simplicity of their technology.
