Sure thing but it depends on the zap menu loade on yo sim. Zap is
designed to allow seamless access to your bank (any) to deposit and
withdraw cash but the central bank stopped that service from begin
implemented but it works on stanchart bank only. Yo can check
transaction status, it has summaries or previous transaction with an
option to have all this info emailed to you. What i know is if all its
capabilities were allowed to function it could give mpesa competition.
One thing i found interesting about zap is the use of alias instead of
numbers to say bills even send cash. Like to say elec bills just know
KPLC not numbers like on mpesa, for shopping in nakumatt just know the
name. But truth be said Zain sucks in its marketing and advertisement
and its the only reason they remain under market giant safcon. Cant
they poach marketing guys from the competitor. Rena Meza wats wrong!
