Safaricom’s M-PESA is quickly becoming a force to reckon with in the continent. Locally, it has become the backbone of how we transact. We use it to pay for goods, services, bills and to send funds to other MPESA users.
Here is yet another level of convenience. Various players in different sectors are looking for ways to integrate M-PESA into their services. Latest on the list is Telkom Kenya. You can now easily purchase Telkom airtime using MPESA.
