Scope

- In February 2017, Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) announced the launch of PesaLink, a real-time interbank money transfer system. The service enables individuals to transfer a minimum of KES10 ($0.10) and a maximum of KES999,999 ($9,681) instantly 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. No charges are applicable for transactions up to KES500 ($4.80), after which a charge of KES11 ($0.10) is levied on every transaction. Transfers can be initiated via multiple channels, including mobile banking, internet banking, branch front offices, ATMs, banking agents, and POS terminals. The service is currently offered by all of the country’s major banks.

- Alternative payments are gaining prominence in the country with the availability of a number of payment solutions. To maintain its dominance in the market, M-Pesa expanded its service in May 2017 to include NFC-based in-store payments. The new service, M-Pesa 1Tap, allows users to make payments by tapping a card, mobile phone sticker, or wristband device that is connected to their M-Pesa account onto a contactless POS terminal. To compete with M-Pesa, Visa collaborated with a number of banks to launch its mobile payment solution mVisa in Kenya in September 2016. The solution allows users to access funds and make both online and in-store payments. Consumers can also withdraw funds from their bank accounts through mVisa agents. In February 2017, Mastercard launched Masterpass QR, an enhancement of its Masterpass platform.

- To curb cash transactions and money laundering, in January 2016 the Central Bank of Kenya mandated that all Kenyan individuals must fill in a special form if they deposit or withdraw more than KES1.0m ($10,000) from a bank account. Individuals must state the details of the transaction, including the source of funds, recipient/payee credentials, and the purpose of the transaction. They also have to state the reason for not using another electronic transfer option. The move is designed to enhance the traceability of bank transactions and help boost electronic payments in the country.
