It will be accepted in all visa terminals worldwide including ATMs. Mpesa and ZAP will be able to load the card also and several other mobile cash transfer services mobicash etc I believe its the next big thing.
@Maina Martin,
Methinks the off-the shelf feature you point out is a bit minor although it may come in handy at some few points.
After the initial paperwork on the existing cards, I see all the cards under discussion being similar.
What may make me ditch the existing cards will be the charges levied on the new entrant and it's scope of use (I guess being VISA branded signals some wide acceptability)
