The Simba Pay to M-Pesa account money transfer service that launched earlier on in the year.
The payment solution will allow Kenyans living abroad to pay vendors [highlight background=”#333″ color=”#fff”]instantly[/highlight] for services such as Electricity and for critical services such as Hospital Bills.
The Simba Pay M-Pesa international PayBill service does not require a Safarciom line or M-Pesa registration. You will only need a credit/debit card to use the service.
Monthly International Remittance Inflows to Kenya currently amount to about 1.2 Billion (April 2015). Such a service could lead to a surge in remittance inflows especially from Europe.
The service is currently available in the UK and will soon roll out to more EU countries.
