[kictanet] International remittances straight to your M-PESA account

[Andrea Bohnstedt]

Hey all,

Safaricom have entered a co-operation with Western Union so that remittances
can be sent straight to M-PESA accounts. I haven't seen the fee structure
yet (probably the usual Western Union fees), but still - great to see that
Safaricom seem to have cracked the international transfers. Another global
first for Kenya, I think.

Here's the press release:
