The NIC option is fully automated, and cheaper. More mobile banking options being added soon. Also, no delays.
I sometimes get the feeling that the mpesa option isn't completely automated. I could be wrong, though...

In my view, I find buying via m-pesa cheaper than buying via agent, though I only bought once via agent.Problem with m-pesa is that it can take hours to get the tokens, especially around weekends or peak hours. Their system doesn't scale properly and needs frequent maintenance.
