M-PESA Beats the Competition With Near 99% Market Share once Again - 0 views

  • As of June 2020, mobile money subscriptions stood at 30.5 million. The quarter ending at that time has 223184 mobile money agents. And as expected, M-PESA dominates the space with 98.9% market share. The Communication Authority of Kenya reports that the values transacted during the last quarter of the year (March to June) increased significantly from the previous quarter.
  •  
    I'm quite amazed by the domination of M-Pesa in the mobile money market. The company has practically all the shares of the market (99%). This monopolistic position will make it hard for new entrants to compete with M-Pesa.

Mobile money platform Pngme raises $3M to expand across Africa - 0 views

  • Africa-focused but U.S. based unified financial data platform Pngme this week announced its successful seed funding round raised $3 million.
  • Pngme hopes to tap into the burgeoning mobile money market in Africa that was kicked off with M-Pesa in 2007. Launched in Kenya, M-Pesa is a mobile banking service that allows users to store and transfer money through their mobile phones, largely targeting a massive population of unbanked citizens in the sub-Saharan region.
  •  
    Pngme has been able to raise $3 Million to expand its operation on mobile money into Africa. This competitor could acquire more market shares from M-Pesa if it succeeds to penetrate the African market using the right strategy.
