About

M-PESA is Africa's most successful mobile money service and the region’s largest fintech platform. M-PESA is the preferred way to make payments across the continent both for the banked and unbanked due to its safety and unmatched convenience. It also provides financial services to millions of people who have mobile phones, but do not have bank accounts, or only have limited access to banking services. Now, M-PESA provides more than 51 million customers across seven countries in Africa with a safe, secure, and affordable way to send and receive money, top-up airtime, make bill payments, receive salaries, get short-term loans, and much more. Customers register for the service at authorized agents, often small mobile phone stores or other retailers such as barbers, butchers, bakers, etc. and then deposit cash in exchange for electronic money. Customers can then send money to their family or friends throughout the country.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Supports all computer and mobile phones brands and on all OS varieties. Works both online and offline. Easily accessible. It has the highest usability score of any payment platform due to its accessibility by all businesses. It also has the most robust feature of any platform I've used namely; funds transfer, withdrawals & deposits, loans & overdrafts, savings with interests, insurance, interbank transfers, merchant pay bills and tills, branchless banking, online and offline support at M-PESA agents.

Cons

  • Lacks a robust international network which limits its accessibility beyond Eastern Africa.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy integration with current PayPal and bank accounts, multiple banking outlets and user friendliness.

Cons

  • The only potential drawback is that you have to have an existing PayPal account tied into your personal bank account prior to using Xoom.
