All, What are the alternatives to Mpesa? I feel the recent increased fees on Mpesa is not practical and I use this service every week to send cash to my handyman in Kajiado - Am asking for opinions and any experience with the other money transfer systems which claim to be network independent like Tangaza, or I may just be forced to buy the gentleman either a Yu or Airtel line! ./Ok3ch
There's also Orange Money, but typical of we Kenyans, few people use the rest. At times, the competitors seem to be doing nothing to offer competition to Mpesa
" the competitors seem to be doing nothing to offer competition to Mpesa ". In terms of innovation, its worth trying out the others. In terms of distribution network, a lot needs to be done by Mpesa's competitors. ./bernard On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 10:30 AM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

Yeah Tangaza is doing some serious Transfer Turnovers. We are mapping Mobile Money Providers at http://www.crowdpesa.com and MobiKash are growing fastest as you can see. John On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 12:56 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:
