Kenya’s Safaricom Tests New Mobile Savings Service
Friday, December 6, 2019
Kenya’s leading telecoms operator Safaricom said on Thursday it was testing a new mobile savings service, seeking to broaden its successful M-Pesa mobile money platform.
Policymakers say the East African nation suffers from a low national savings rate and analysts said Safaricom could be looking to target that untapped market with the new product, dubbed “Mali” (Kiswahili for wealth).
