I need to know how different is this from what KCB & Co-op Bank already do? They allow you to transfer money from your MPesa to your account, and your account has a VISA debit card which you can use for online shopping. ./Ok3ch On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 6:03 PM, Eliud Ngugi <elkingsparxxes@gmail.com> wrote:

@Ok3ch I think in the case of Co-op Bank you must have an account with them, but in the case of I&M you do not need an account to get a pre-paid visa card with them. As for KCB, I understand you do not need to have an account with them so as to get their pre-paid card. And the other thing is that I believe you cannot transfer m-pesa directly into your KCB pre-paid card. (someone on this list who has the KCB prepaid card can confirm or deny) Timo.

@Timothy - my point is where is the big plus with the I&M arrangement? Just not having an account is not a big plus to make someone like me who has Mpesa & a Co-op bank account to ditch my arrangement and opt for this one. ./Ok3ch On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 6:18 PM, Timothy Mutugi <timothymutugi@gmail.com> wrote:
