  • In the first case, a merchant is given a designated QR code by their acquirer that is linked to their bank account in the backend. Customers must scan the QR code using the camera on their smart device and then enter the amount to be paid and their individual PIN in order to complete the transaction. An example of this method is SnapScan.

  • AIRO: There is a growing demand among Egyptian consumers for more convenient payment methods, according to a recent survey conducted by Fawry, the first nationwide electronic payment service in Egypt. Over 90 percent of Egyptians said that saving time was their primary concern when it comes to paying bills.
    • hibaerrai
       
      Even if Fawry is the leader in the egyptian market, consumers still require more services as they want the app to be more efficient and time saving.
  • Ashraf Sabry, CEO of Fawry, said, “Research conducted for Fawry by IPSOS showed that 85.6 percent of respondents surveyed are seeking more efficient payment methods for household bills. The average Egyptian family has between 15 to 17 regular payments to make. These include mobile and landline bills, utilities, insurance, school or university fees and much more.
  • Fawry was established in response to growing consumer demand for alternative payment methods that simplify the process of receiving bills and paying them. Fawry today has 12,000 Fawry payment points across the country, that form one-stop-shop, instant, multiple-bill payment locations
  •  
    These two excerpts show that most Egyptians seek a convenient and quick way to pay bills as the number of daily transactions made by one household exceeds 15. Fawry came up with the right digital solution for these people whom 80% of them don't have a bank account.

WorldRemit review 2021: Complaints, fees, rates | finder.com - 2 views

  • What to watch out forMaximum daily limits. Transaction limits depend on how you are sending the money, while a total 24-hour cap of $9,000 applies to all transactions being sent by you out of the US.Changing fees. Depending on where you are sending to, how you are paying and how you are transferring money, your fees may vary. Although a base fee of $3.99 is applied to most transfers, keep an eye on this category when actually completing your transfer to make sure it doesn’t change.No hedging options. WorldRemit only offers one-off transfers, unlike some of its competitors that offer additional tools to help you save money. Hedging tools are most often used to lock in an exchange rate, helping you save money on future transfers if the market shifts against your position.Inconsistent markups. Exchange rates vary through WorldRemit and depend not only on the currency you are sending to but also on the destination country. Expect mid-market markups anywhere from 1-4%.
  • Easy-to-use website. Signing up and sending money can be done in as little as a few minutes, and support can be accessed through phone, email, live chat and FAQs.Worldwide network. Customers in more than 50 countries can send funds to over 150 countries using a variety of methods, including bank transfers, cash pickup at thousands of locations, door-to-door delivery, delivery to services like Alipay and more.Flexible payment options. Pay with a credit or debit card, from your bank account, through Apple or Google Pay and even with prepaid cards.Fast transfers. Cash pickups, WorldRemit Wallet transfers and airtime top-ups are typically available instantly after sending, while mobile money and bank deposits may take one or more business days to process.

Mukuru international money transfers review | Finder South Africa - 0 views

  • Mukuru specialises in single transfers to friends and family, whether over the phone, through the app, online, bank transfers or through one of its branches. You can’t set up a recurring transfer through Mukuru and it doesn’t specialise in business transfers.You can make transfers to any of the following, depending on the country you’re sending to:Bank account. The money will be deposited directly into the bank account you choose. You’ll need to know the SWIFT code as well. This option is currently available for all supported countries.Cash pick-up location. You can send money to a cash pick-up location for your recipient to collect. If you choose this option, the person picking it up will need a valid photo ID on hand and the reference number. You’ll only be able to use this for transfers to Zimbabwe, Malawi, Namibia and Zambia.Mobile wallet. Send to your recipient’s smartphone wallet. This option is helpful if your recipient doesn’t have a bank account and isn’t near a cash pick-up location. You can use it in Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique.Top-up card collection. This is used when you want to send money directly to your recipient’s card. You’ll need their card number and address. This is currently only available in Zimbabwe.
    • hibaerrai
       
      Mukuru proposes numerous services, however I believe that they should step up and propose new different services. Banks propose similar services. They should take advantage of new technologies and online platform to expand more.
  • The supported payment methods vary depending on where you are in the world but from South Africa, you’ll have a few options: make a cash deposit at one of Mukuru’s partner branches, online or telephone banking, bank transfer or through a Mukuru Money prepaid debit card, which all customers in South Africa qualify for. South Africa is the only country in Africa that allows bank transfers with Mukuru.

How TPAY MOBILE is supporting inclusion across the Middle East and Africa - TPAY MOBILE - 4 views

  • And today our technology does just that, by allowing merchants and operators to accept mobile payments from consumers without the need for a traditional bank account.
    • nouhaila_zaki
       
      This reflects how the company targets underbanked groups, and how it achieves financial inclusion.
  • Coupled with the differing financial, legal, and operational processes across the MEA region is limited access to traditional banking infrastructure, with 63% (circa 1 billion) of the adult population unbanked. While this is a common trait in emerging markets, it does mean that traditional transactions based on credit and debit cards are not a realistic prospect for many consumers. However, with smartphone penetration growing apace, and with it the ability and desire to purchase goods and services through digital channels, there is an increasing need for alternative payment methods to support access and consumption.
    • nouhaila_zaki
       
      Here the article explains why there is a need for TPAY Mobile products: 1- Largely unbanked population = traditional transactions based on debit and credit cards are not realistic. 2- Smartphone penetration + ability & desire to purchase digitally = need for alternative payment methods.
  • And our team’s inclusion efforts don’t stop there. TPAY MOBILE employees have been volunteering and hosting financial literacy workshops with INJAZ Egypt, a non-profit organization empowering young people to own their economic success through partnering with businesses and educational institutions across the country.
    • nouhaila_zaki
       
      Social work for financial inclusion appears to be a priority for the company. Collaboration with an NGO in Egypt reflects that.
  •  
    Very interesting company! Even though it is an Algerian company, its scope goes beyond the African borders to include the whole MEA region!

A Global Success from Kenya - Banking - Credit Suisse - 0 views

  • It is no exaggeration to say that Kenya's economy depends on M-Pesa. According to the Central Bank of Kenya, the value of all transactions between June 2013 and June 2014 represented 39 percent of the country's GDP. M-Pesa moves more than one billion Swiss francs per year, and in fiscal year 2014 it earned the parent company 268 million francs, an increase of 21.6 percent over the previous year.
    • nouhaila_zaki
       
      This excerpt is important because it highlights the role of M-Pesa as the backbone of the Kenyan economy, without which it may collapse.
  • It all started eight years ago – because of the family members who stayed home. As in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa, most of Kenya's population are farmers who live on the land. Young people in search of an education and jobs are drawn to the cities. If those earning money in the city wanted to support their parents financially, they long had to rely on uncertain and risky methods. They could send cash with a neighbor or a bus driver who happened to be driving through their village. Or they could send a postal money order, but that could take weeks, often failed to arrive, and in any case was possible only if the recipient had a post office box. This was about as unlikely as having a bank account.At the time, in 2007, several million Kenyans owned a cell phone with a Safaricom number. Then this phone number essentially became a virtual bank account number. Starting in March of that year, Safaricom customers could upload money to their cell phone and send it to other Safaricom customers. It arrived within minutes, and the recipient was informed with a text message. The money could be forwarded or received as cash from an M-Pesa agent.Two weeks after introducing the service, Safaricom had nearly 20,000 active M-Pesa users. After seven months, there were one million. Today,  20 million customers in Kenya are registered. More than 83,000 agents in cities and rural areas assist customers in uploading, sending and receiving money. Rural Kenyans with no banking options leaped from the agricultural age straight into the digital tomorrow.And transferring money from one cell phone to another was only the start. Today, users can pay their electricity and water bills, get cash from an ATM, buy airline tickets, add phone time, buy concert tickets, pay the taxi driver or butcher and take out a small loan, perhaps to purchase a solar panel that brings electricity to their home for the first time. 
    • nouhaila_zaki
       
      This excerpt is excellent at narrating how the idea of M-Pesa came to be. Indeed, the founders observed that when young people living in cities wanted to financially support their parents who are still in the countryside, they had to rely on risky and lengthy methods. Also, the founders observed that several million Kenyans owned a cellphone with a Safaricom number. Hence, they decided that this phone number would become a virtual bank account number to which Safaricom customers could upload money and send it to other Safaricom customers. Today, transferring money is not the only thing M-Pesa provides, since user can now pay their electricity and water bills, retrieve cash from ATMs, buy airline tickets, add phone time, buy concert tickets, pay taxi drivers or butchers or take loans, or even purchase a solar panel to bring electricity at home for the first time.

Mukuru - ECP Investments - 0 views

  • Mukuru is uniquely focused on serving low- and middle-income migrants who typically send money home to their families to cover basic living expenses and who otherwise rely on informal and inconsistent channels such as buses, taxis, friends, and family. Through Mukuru, customers can send money through more reliable channels via bank transfer, cash deposit, credit/debit card or via a Mukuru Money Card and/or mobile money wallet. Friends and family members of these customers can then receive the money through the same methods (cash collection, bank transfer, cash to card, or mobile money wallet).

      The important aspect to take from this pdf is that due to EthioPay's reliable and beneficial platform, Ethiopian banks have begun to adopt its method. In my opinion, this adoption is essential to the Ethiopian population because it leads to efficient and effective financial services.

    • sawsanenn
       
      What I conclude is that EthioPay payment service offers numerous advantages for both banks and customers, while the low level of customer acceptance of interbank electronic payment services is noted in Ethiopia. However, this electronic payments service cannot deliver the intended benefits unless it is used by commercial banks.

We created an omnichannel digital payment network to make life easier for consumers and the businesses that serve them.”

How M-Pesa changed banking in Africa - CNN - 0 views

  • The service will face stronger competition in the coming years. The Kenya Bankers Association -- representing 46 banks -- is introducing its own mobile payment platform that will allow convenient transfers between accounts at different banks, and the group hopes this will eat into M-Pesa's market share.

      the next decade will bring new challenges for the mobile payment system
  • The system was launched by Vodafone's Safaricom mobile operator in 2007 as a simple method of texting small payments between users. Today there are 30 million users in 10 countries and a range of services including international transfers, loans, and health provision. The system processed around 6 billion transactions in 2016 at a peak rate of 529 per second.
  •  
    This article explains how M-Pesa, a small mobile money transfer using SMS has grown over the past 10 years, which enable the company to reach a level of success that was unpredictable. Today, the company has expanded its service & product offerings making the volume of transactions reaching a level of 529 per second. I think that this service could expand to all African countries, Morocco included, and it could have some great benefits to unbanked people in Morocco.
