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..

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! On May 11, 2017 12:24 PM, "Erick Mwangi via kictanet" < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

I concur Dorcas. Despite Mpesa being 'dominant' it has one of the most tortuous Customer Journeys of any mobile product. For example I count 12 steps to make an Mpesa Transaction!!! This will go a long way in increasing 'stickiness' Well done Safaricom. It's a glass half full. :-) Ali Hussein Hussein & Associates +254 0713 601113 / 0770906375 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim Blog: www.alyhussein.com "Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought". ~ Albert Szent-Györgyi Sent from my iPad

This an awesome idea, I had to test it and I noted the following: 1. When registering for the service, the password field is displaying the password, this is a security risk (Eaves dropping attack). Kindly consider hiding the password with asterisks or dots. 2. I visited your website and tried the "Demo" which turned out to be an actual transactions and some money (Ksh. 10) :-) was deducted from my M-Pesa account. So what exactly have I paid for? And do you term that a "Demo"? Then how have you addressed the security challenges that NFC face? Though I have noted that the fact that it relays on the mobile USSD to, may make it overcome most security issues, but are they any unforeseen security challenges? All in all, its a great step to making Lipa na M-Pesa efficient. Good work! On Thu, May 11, 2017 at 2:18 PM, Admin CampusCiti via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Thank you Kelvin for taking time to explore the product. We appreciate your feedback and it's the whole essence of the demo. We have taken note of your observation and we shall relook at the security features. We will actually reimburse the demo fee or credit it on your first subscription service. Looking forward to more feedback.

Thank you Kelvin for taking time to explore the product. We appreciate your feedback and it's the whole essence of the demo. We have taken note of your observation and we shall relook at the security features.
We will actually reimburse the demo fee or credit it on your first subscription service.
Looking forward to more feedback.

This an awesome idea, I had to test it and I noted the following: 1. When registering for the service, the password field is displaying the password, this is a security risk (Eaves dropping attack). Kindly consider hiding the password with asterisks or dots. 2. I visited your website and tried the "Demo" which turned out to be an actual transactions and some money (Ksh. 10) :-) was deducted from my M-Pesa account. So what exactly have I paid for? And do you term that a "Demo"?
Then how have you addressed the security challenges that NFC face? Though I have noted that the fact that it relays on the mobile USSD to, may make it overcome most security issues, but are they any unforeseen security challenges?
All in all, its a great step to making Lipa na M-Pesa efficient. Good work!

I concur Dorcas. Despite Mpesa being 'dominant' it has one of the most tortuous Customer Journeys of any mobile product. For example I count 12 steps to make an Mpesa Transaction!!! This will go a long way in increasing 'stickiness'
Well done Safaricom. It's a glass half full. :-)

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..

How long ago was this Erick? Because my understanding of the implementation is totally different from what we've seen in the past. I can't comment on security, I know quite little on that front, but the part where Safaricom's implementation is just a tag that allows the POS to call the STK directly at the last step of payments <http://forums.techweez.com/t/safaricoms-mpesa-1-tap-a-summary-of-thoughts/1136>, with visual confirmation of transaction is a winner. The reduction of steps for a service people actively use is where the win is at.
