Overview

M-Pesa is a mobile money platform launched in 2007 by Safaricom in partnership with Vodafone. Originally introduced in Kenya, it has grown into one of the world's most successful mobile financial services, allowing users to transfer money, pay merchants, purchase goods, pay bills and access savings and lending services directly from their mobile devices. Transactions can be funded through a network of authorized agents, linked bank accounts and mobile balances.

Within the iGaming industry, M-Pesa is accepted by many licensed online casinos and sportsbooks serving players across Kenya and several other African markets. Its speed, accessibility and widespread adoption make it one of the preferred payment methods for operators targeting mobile-first audiences in Africa.
