with visa or Mastercard via Mpesa? Kenyans are slowly accepting plastic
as a means of payment. <br>With <span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1265177126_0">mobile banking</span>,
we have to go through the bank to transfer funds or receive funds,
however if consumers were able send money directly to a safaricom debit
card, we could eliminate the extra cost and time of routing money
through a bank. <br>Additionally for the Mpesa users who may want to
pay for a dinner at a restaurant or in the middle of the night or even
buy a plane ticket can simply swipe their safaricom debit card for easy
payment.<br><br>Ben </div>
