Sagentia (was later bought out by IBM) just developed the current platform which will be phased out in a Year. The License for mobile money is by Vodafone, Safaricom pays for the license but runs it via the brand name MPESA. .......FB buying MPESA, that wont happen any time soon!!

Sagentia (was later bought out by IBM) just developed the current platform which will be phased out in a Year. The License for mobile money is by Vodafone, Safaricom pays for the license but runs it via the brand name MPESA. .......FB buying MPESA, that wont happen any time soon!!

Indeed, m-pesa is way over-hyphed, but it's still the most advanced. I would think that it would be easier for a company (fb or not), to just port over all of the existing tech that works here already (lipa-na-mpesa, pay bill etc) over to another country instead of developing a new one.
