Sirs/Madams, A local software company [g360 Ltd] has developed an interesting piece of software which is able to complete online transactions. The process is simple. When money is sent via Mpesa, the sender receives a confirmation which details the sender's number, amount and receipt number. The software captures this information and stores it in a back-end database. The 'buyer' after sending the funds via Mpesa is then asked to key in the receipt number and his/her cell phone and submit the details. The software then compares the details and if they match it authorises the transaction. The developers of this software have put a demo page at http://www.mobilepay.i360microsystems.com and have identified Kictanet as a good niche that can preview the beta software and give comments before it is launched to the public. We are interested in comments on the *'online shopping process'* and *'legal implications'* for such transactions. PS1. This software conducts transactions using Mpesa but is not endorsed by Safaricom and neither do we act as Mpesa Agents. PS2. If you wish to receive a detailed presentation on how the software works, please email your request to per-erick@i360microsystems.com Thanks and looking forward to your valuable comments. -- Bildad Kagai MD - MediaCorp Limited Nairobi Stock Exchange Authorised Information Vendor Suite B2, Tetu Apartments, State House Avenue P.
