Very interesting read. I dare ask if all people without mobile phone and access to the internet to effect e-payments will be banned from travelling?

The numbers on some alternative payment channels are; Safaricom on its Lipa
na Mpesa service takes 1% of each transaction value, Equity Bank  with
their transport centric service BebaPay which is in partnership with Google
take 5%, while PesaPal a payment services aggregator levies a 3.5%
transaction fee on e-commerce, bill payments and invoicing and 5% on
ticketing.
For service based businesses, these transaction fees could be considered
okay, but for those moving product, a deeper analysis will reveal why
adoption may be stifled.
