Commenting on the new development, Equity Bank Kenya Managing Director Gerald Warui said the reduction in the settlement period is of great significance as the country moves towards growing the uptake of e-commerce.

“The reduced settlement period will allow businesses to effectively receive payments enabling them to manage their cash flows and accelerating the growth of their businesses,” he said.

Tahir Emrah Tuzun, PayPal Head of Sales and Market Development Middle East and Africa said the significant reduction in settlement time simply means quicker access to funds for businesses reinforcing our commitment to supporting the growth of local MSMEs.
