Safaricom taps Pesapal’s 30,000 POS terminals to take M-PESA contactless
- Safaricom partners with Pesapal to bring tap-to-pay functionality to M-PESA users.
- Customers can now use NFC-enabled devices or QR codes for payments at Pesapal terminals.
- The service will initially roll out on 30,000 terminals across Kenya, primarily in restaurants and supermarkets.
The partnership between Safaricom and Pesapal represents a significant advancement in the digital payment landscape in Kenya, leveraging existing infrastructure to enhance user experience. However, the success of this initiative will depend on consumer adoption and merchant visibility, which are critical for establishing a new payment habit.
