Hey all, <br><br>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. <br>
<br>Here's the press release: <br><a href="http://www.ratio-magazine.com/201103313887/Corporate-Press-Releases/Kenya-Press-Releases-M-PESA-to-Accept-Remittances-through-Alliance-with-Western-Union.html">http://www.ratio-magazine.com/201103313887/Corporate-Press-Releases/Kenya-Press-Releases-M-PESA-to-Accept-Remittances-through-Alliance-with-Western-Union.html</a><br clear="all">
