      The pandemic has created a surge in demand for electronic payment services and Fawry being the leading player in Egypt obviously has benefitted a lot from that - which is also evident from company's just-announced financials for the second quarter

  • Pay Bill is for remote payments and the customer does not have to be present whilst paying.  The customer has an official relationship with the organization to whom they are making payment and has an “account number” that helps identify the user. The customer inputs a business number (paybill number) for the entity they are paying.

  • M-Pesa, joyau de l’opérateur national kényan Safaricom (détenu à 40% par Vodafone), regarde maintenant vers les marchés du Nord, et notamment vers l’Europe de l’Est, à commencer par la Roumanie : pays où la grande majorité de la population est connectée (possède au moins un téléphone mobile) mais pas totalement bancarisée.

  • Latest News on M-Pesa | Cointelegraph
  • M-Pesa is Kenyan mobile, phone-based payment service provider for the mobile companies’ customers. M-Pesa is a money transfer service that, additionally, provides financing and micro-financing operations. The company was launched in 2007 by the two largest mobile network operators in Kenya and Tanzania. In 2013, M-Pesa in Africa became available for money transfers in Bitcoin, which are very popular among Kenyan and other African countries’ citizens due to their national currencies’ hyperinflation. Initially, M-Pesa was developed for Kenyan and other African citizens who don’t have access to ATMs or bank accounts to send or receive money, but the service has now reached Afghanistan and some European countries.

  • 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.
  • M-Pesa : quel miracle pour réussir hors du Kenya ?
  • 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.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • 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.

  • Mobile money transfer: ‘Ethiopia hasn’t shut the door to M-Pesa’
  • In April, while the Kenyan telecoms giant Safaricom was in talks with the Ethiopian authorities to launch its M-Pesa app, the country’s central bank, the National Bank of Ethiopia, decided to only allow locally-owned non-financial institutions to offer mobile money services.
  • So, we didn’t shut the door to M-Pesa. Instead, we’ve asked them to partner with an Ethiopian bank.
