Safaricom/Visa co-operation was launched in early 2011, so shop away in Helsinki! On 6 August 2013 15:50, Edwin Onchari <eonchari@lynxbits.com> wrote:
As many have pointed out, opening up Mpesa will benefit Safcom in the long run. As some have quoted the case of AT&T, if Safcom were to open up Mpesa, and may I suggest even setup Mpesa as a separate organization, the growth will enormous. I can foresee a scenario where the platform will penetrate the market segments that have eluded other electronic money transfer providers such as Visa/Mastercard- or even have collaborations with them. Imagine having someone deposit money into my Mpesa account in Nyamira- Kenya and be able to use my visa card at a shop in Helsinki! I only see benefits accruing to Safcom on this
Kind regards, Edwin
