Re: [kictanet] Paypal Vs Mpesa

Honourable Members, I was just having a chat with a good friend who is a web developer over the issue of online payments. I realised paypal is common but the procedure and processes involved seem to be too complicated despite the fact that it is an important medium for online transactions globally. Does anyone has an idea of how we can encouarage local banks to interface with such systems to facilitate online transactions instead of the difficult route being undertaken currently, better still can mpesa be a viable option. They have an arrangement with pesa point which saved my neck on new year because of its efficiency can it be extended to facilitate online transactions international (say with Kenyans in diaspora Just curious On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 8:22 PM, Alex Gakuru <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi all, Is there someone following up the updating of Paypal accounts using MPESA?

Good stuff...any URL where we can check this out? And while we are still on the topic, I would love to be able to have my Google Adsense cash go into either my MPESA or Paypal accounts ;-) I dare to dream...Is Google E. Africa working on that?
