From SIM card settings to USSD, Safaricom has come a long way when it comes to money transfer matters. From there, the Telco began this “App movement” with the Safaricom App. Soon after Kenyans resonated well with this, they realized that they need to do more. To deliver this mission, Safaricom has now officially launched the new Super M-Pesa App.
Super M-Pesa App: The Future of Money
In May 2020, the Telco launched the first M-Pesa App and they loved the reception from individuals and more so businesses.
Speaking at the event, CEO Peter Ndegwa notes that those using the Lipa Na M-Pesa functionality are very excited about this.
