I was working on a project linked to them. They use an anti-fraud system to verify that you are who you claim to be based on your address, credit reports, phone, DOB etc. So if you put a fake address it wont go through.

Just got a confirmation that my transaction was declined - seems to be the fake address :-) Good job for my bank but more bad news from me - although fake addresses works everywhere else :-(

@Kris - seems like this is only accepting UK addresses and telephone numbers - and there is some notification SMS's which may also be some verifications. Looks very good though am abit skeptical on putting fake phone numbers & residential address when actual money is involved.

@Thomas - Unfortunately where am mostly working, Safaricom have no roaming agreements (Safaricom is basically nonexistent in Les Pays Francophone). Surprisingly, Airtel has, but every country has its own standalone Airtel Money with no integration to other countries at all. 

@Steve - I do not know if it may be necessary, since if then I will have to open an SME account with my bank and they just started straight2bank for Mpesa payments. if no solution exists for individuals like me then I may not invest in it :-)

If you still don't have a solution then I am willing to take a time out and develop a quick one for you, which you can have on your desk as well. Get back to me off-list we discuss further

@Stephen - What I need is the reverse - I want to be able to send to any mpesa number from my Visa.

I also want a solution on my desk, if there is none, I will accept there is none

I think if you go to any western union, you should be able to make the transaction.

Hi All,

I happen to be having a handyman who I pay monthly via mpesa, but half the time am out of the country during month ends and the poor man has to wait for me to come back. I need a solution where I can go online and use my visa/mastercard and mpesa is sent to his phone.
My bank currently offers only mpesa to my phone number so this is not helping much while am away.

Any solutions out there?
