Hey all, <br><br>Safaricom have entered a co-operation with Western Union so that remittances can be sent straight to M-PESA accounts. I haven&#39;t seen the fee structure yet (probably the usual Western Union fees), but still - great to see that Safaricom seem to have cracked the international transfers. Another global first for Kenya, I think. <br>
