M-Pesa : quel miracle pour réussir hors du Kenya ? - Jeune Afrique - 0 views

  • C’est un retour en force aux allures de pari. Quatre ans après avoir retiré M-Pesa du marché sud-africain, l’opérateur de télécommunications Vodacom a annoncé en juillet le lancement d’un nouveau service de paiement par mobile. L’offre sera conçue en partenariat avec Ant Financial Services Group, un groupe chinois qui commercialise le puissant service de mobile money Alipay, créé par le fondateur du site d’e-commerce Alibaba, Jack Ma.

      I believe that with the funds and experience of AliBABA they will manage to do great at the international level this time. Chinese are known for their very efficient telecommunications companies so I think that it will be good for M-pesa to gain such knowledge from chinese
  • Cette fois-ci, la filiale africaine de Vodafone tente à nouveau l’aventure sans s’appuyer sur M-Pesa, dont elle est pourtant devenue cette année le coactionnaire aux côtés de Safaricom, afin de justement favoriser son développement.

  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Est-ce un complexe de supériorité hérité de son histoire kényane ? À Nairobi, M-Pesa a profité, depuis sa création en 2007, de la domination de l’opérateur Safaricom – qui captait plus de 84 % des parts de marché sur le mobile au moment de son lancement, et en détient désormais 87 % – et de la bienveillance du régulateur.
  • Additionnées, les activités hors du Kenya enregistrent donc un succès tout relatif avec un total de 14,7 millions de clients représentant environ 38 % de la base clients totale de M-Pesa.
