Safaricom has introduced a new payment option through its M-Pesa service. The feature allows customers to make payments by tapping their mobile phones on shop tills. This update is part of a partnership with Pesapal, a payments technology company.
The new system supports both tap-to-pay and dynamic QR code payments. It is designed to streamline the checkout process for shoppers. Retailers can now accept M-Pesa payments at their tills without requiring customers to enter a PIN.
The collaboration between Safaricom and Pesapal aims to improve the customer experience. It also enhances the convenience of mobile money transactions. The feature is available at participating retail outlets across Kenya.
This development follows growing demand for faster and more secure payment methods. Safaricom has been expanding its digital services to meet consumer needs. The new option is expected to increase the use of mobile money in everyday transactions.
The move reflects broader trends in financial technology. It highlights the increasing integration of mobile payments into retail environments. Safaricom continues to lead in digital financial services in East Africa.
