<p dir="ltr">I wonder if the card will be as fees free to the customer as visa. Therein, would be an advantage. For now there are times when paying through M-pesa is charged and it is quite inconvenient to send an SMS to find out the charges.<br>
But the bigger question would be whether this the real future or the full potential of mobile money vis a vis Blockchains...<br>
