My understanding is that Safaricom is creating efficiency in the customer journey by limiting data entry to only the PIN when making payments to merchants.

I think it is smart!

Morning Listers,

This is a Cool feature for Mpesa. Personally I don`t hold much faith in it, since secure elements for NFC are expensive, but I guess we`ll have to see if they manage to make profit on this and what the uptake is.

Through an in-house Start-up, we once had implemented an NFC payment solution with Vodafone a few years ago at our work canteen, it was mainly used for employees to pay for food and beverages in the in-house facilities and on the vending machines. No tags involved – we virtualised a secure element on the NFC enabled SIM card ;)
However, after analysis we concluded that the model had no commercial future, only for show.

But I stand to be corrected - Certainly interesting times..
