SAFARICOM ANNOUNCES NEW WAYS OF MAKING PAYMENTS.

Safaricom is set to launch a new payment method via Mpesa that will enable its customers to use a QR code to reduce process risk. 

In a statement, the leading telco said the commodity will enable a seamless experience which is secure and hustle free.

“No hustle of keying in details, no risk of paying to the wrong number,” the statement read. 

The network further added that it has partnered with payment service providers, banks, and card schemes, among others to bring ”ScanUlipe’

In a bid to woo teens and preteens aged between 10 to 17 years, Safaricom had in November 2022 added another segment M-Pesa Go.

M-Pesa Go will allow subscribers to send and receive money, purchase airtime and bundles, use Lipa na M-Pesa services and access M-Pesa Super App dubbed as ‘M-Pesa Go App.’

 
Safaricom CEO Peter Ndegwa said the service will be oversighted by parents or guardians to raise a financially healthy generation. 

“The service seeks to empower parents and guardians to raise a financially healthy generation who are prepared for a cashless world,” he said.

Ndegwa said the current generation has been born into technology, the internet, and a cashless world, adding they are seeking inclusion and independence in this digital world.
