[kictanet] Fwd: MPESA NFC and Ecommerce Payment Automation

Thu May 11 14:18:05 EAT 2017

I concur Dorcas. Despite Mpesa being 'dominant' it has one of the most tortuous Customer Journeys of any mobile product. For example I count 12 steps to make an Mpesa Transaction!!! This will go a long way in increasing 'stickiness' 

Well done Safaricom. It's a glass half full. :-)

No tags involved – we virtualised a secure element on the NFC enabled SIM card ;)
