In March 2007, Safaricom launched M-Pesa, an innovative payment service for the unbanked. M-Pesa services operate in Tanzania, Mozambique, DRC, Lesotho, Ghana, Egypt, Afghanistan, and South Africa.
In June 2020, Safaricom launched the Lipa Na M-Pesa Business smartphone app for the more than 170,000 merchants on the service.
Named “M-Pesa for Business“, it will empower business owners to access real-time statements, export statements, and track their business performance on the go.
Through the app, business owners can further withdraw funds from Lipa Na M-Pesa to their M-Pesa accounts, bank accounts, or at an agent.
