Mpesa is widely used in East Africa, especially in Tanzania and Uganda. In Tanzania it is used down to the remotest villages. Mobile money is changing our way of transacting . Infact all phone providers offer financial services. In Africa phone money services are a solution as they are linked with banks . Challenges are there but even our security organs provide trained personel specializing in this area basic to our economy. It has become part of our society.
The idea was nyangaka Ouko's , but in terms of turning idea to entrepreneurship and business, i can credit nick Hughes , expansion i can credit Safaricom company .But inventor and idea owners is nyangaka Ouko. The need for teamwork and collaboration in all startups .
Mpesa was not invented by Nick Hughes, it was invented by a brilliant computer science student at a Kenyan University, Nyagaka Ouko. Please get your facts right.
But it's making its way around the East Africa especially in Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and other African countries that adopted mobile money services.
In India, we use UPI. It uses QR codes, Numbers and email type format upi ids UPI is just tooo dominant now surpassing Trillion $ in tranactions annually. It did 200 Trilion RUpees ( $ 2.4 Trillion ) in FY23-24

M-pesa means mobike money. Pesa is a swahili word for money. When they introduced to countries that don't speak swahili, they should have substituted the word 'pesa' with the local word for money.
Please clarify: Are you saying the M-Pesa platiforms fails to gain success in other countries ? Or are you saying similar platiforms fail in other countries.
@@_UCS_SwapnilSahaiSrivastav which ones, and in which countries? Because 1, Mpesa is literally the pioneer of mobile money. There wasn't anything like it anywhere in the world including the developed countries. Secondly, there is even up to now nothing as advanced as Mpesa. Mpesa is not just an excellent payment service, it is a complete bank on its own, able to make you forget cash for years. Tell me one "payment service" in any country with as much power.
@@patriot_2022 1. True when Mpesa launched there weren't much better payment systems in the world, hence it succeeded in Kenya and neighbouring countries. But by the time it tried expanding to other countries, many/most of them had much better and advance payment systems. 2. I'll give you two examples since these two are the most widely used Mobile payment systems in the world. A) UPI from India B) AliPay from China Go read about them and the volume of transactions they do :-)
I can list many, Apple/Google Pay, PayPal in the USA , paytm in India and many others… Mpesa can’t survive in advanced economies as they are mostly banked people and the Agent system cannot work there. With time, maybe 50+ years as many people in KE transition to the formal banking system, systems like Mpesa will have to evolve into something else since the agent system will die out eventually, also the agent in the middle increases the charges incurred when withdrawing, my prediction is that the masses will eventually start to feel the small extra charges they incur and will opt for more traditional baking systems in years to come and thus mpesa and the like will be pushed out or will become more like the normal bank.
Mpesa has become unsafe these days. Give credit where it's due, the invention was the Kenyatta university student, they unfortunately paid him up.. Anyway I heard you mention Two factor authentication, that's a lie, it's not available 😅 thus why some cases are coming up these days
Mpesa was invented by Nyagaka Ouko, a computer science student in the University of Nairobi.just because someone is black and african caoont be associated with invention.what a fuck is CNN in airing its stories .
It is not a success because 1. Users are greatly overcharged for sending their own money. 2. It is not safe, countless have lost their money never to get it back! I'd rather use Bank to Bank transfer than Mpesa especially when transacting huge amount of funds.
for me it's the culture difference between kenya and india... integrating that financial technology system into their ecosystem ain't even worth it by the way speaking from kenya point of view anywayz ..... probably much better to provide a variety of features services in the applications rather than chasing outside customers ..... 🍷
M-pesa was invented by a Black man Ouko, just because he is an African doesn't make this man's invention be given by a man, the Named white man just bought the idea, power of Money..
Mpesa in Tanzania 🇹🇿 is facing competition too as there other local mobile Money in Tanzania established and doing good such as Togo-Pesa. Airtel-Money, TTCL-Money and many more.

Please stop, that’s not the reason. South Africa is a highly formally banked market and we have highly regulated developed banking system which mpesa as a mobile money transfer system would mostly serve unbanked and poorest in SA, they would have struggled to compete with the already available money transfer systems available in country. South Africans we’re already banked and even the poor and unbanked had other options that were easier and familiar and well distributed and connected to banking system, so why would they move to an unknown and poorly serviced and barely available system?
@@thandisilec835 bro I'm in south Africa. ATM are only in secured areas .in Kenya you can even withdraw money in spaza shops . In south Africa u can't do that because of insecurity
@@thandisilec835 that poorly developed system is being used even in America .u are just mentally locked u think south Africa is the best. Banking in kenya is way ahead of south Africa. Standard bank is south African but their services in Kenya are way ahead of the services in south Africa. They even have branches that operate 24hrs. You need to travel.
@@meleas8262 you must lack reading comprehension as I didn’t say it’s not a system that’s not developed for the market it was originally intended for, the unbanked in Kenya…I merely explained why it didn’t work in a more formally banked society…it failed 3 times of trying to launch it in SA and clearly many other countries because if it was successful in other countries like it is in Kenya, this video wouldn’t have been made by this channel. No idea how widely available or known it is by US consumers, I don’t live there so I only spoke on my country where I know it’s been a non-starter here and I explained to you the reasons why as you had given some wild unfounded reasons…vendors hold cash in SA in millions and security isn’t a threat and you clearly don’t know SA had had other money transfer systems which were working and entrenched that mpesa just couldn’t compete it convince users to switch. You also lack how business and meeting a market’s (consumers) needs work if you think people already using established money transfer systems and services in their country will switch to a new system that’s not well established and doesn’t give them a compelling reason as to why they should…the fact that is was not easily available with any vendors(Mpesa just has poor distribution and availability in SA as many vendors or business weren’t clamouring to partner with it in SA, hence I said it wasn’t easily available). I’m glad it works in some markets but clearly the market analysts for the mpesa owner didn’t do due diligence in researching what could set them apart in some other markets and adjust their service offering and user experience accordingly , hence this video also explained why it’s failed in other markets including India which has a huge unbanked citizenry. Lol I can’t even take your comments around banking in Kenya too seriously as I know financial services sector is a less regulated area there than it in SA, hence I also mentioned on my initial response that SA being heavily regulated in terms of financial services and banking also didn’t help mpesa in SA…you can’t just introduce a financial services offering without regulatory requirements being met. I know in Kenya you have hundreds of banks there so I guess it’s a more open market. Standard Banking hours being longer there honestly is neither here nor there, as banking services are highly digitised in SA, literally majority South Africans don’t go into banks physically to do banking now(mostly the elderly and less literate who have to go into brick and mortar for banking services),its all done on smartphones and all SA banks in SA know this and operate accordingly, so opening of banks for long hours wouldn’t make sense here. Maybe long banking hours are a market need in Kenya but not in SA because banks are open 24/7 here online with safe banking apps and platforms we can all accesses from wherever we are…even whilst travelling internationally. Makes life simple honestly. I do admire how mpesa works but clearly it’s well suited for some markets not all
Hahaha Kenyans who can't even make toothpicks are pretending that they invented a high tech transfer system. Not understanding that every single large company in Kenya is owned and run by mzungu....

@@thandisilec835 bro I'm in south Africa. ATM are only in secured areas .in Kenya you can even withdraw money in spaza shops . In south Africa u can't do that because of insecurity
@@thandisilec835 that poorly developed system is being used even in America .u are just mentally locked u think south Africa is the best. Banking in kenya is way ahead of south Africa. Standard bank is south African but their services in Kenya are way ahead of the services in south Africa. They even have branches that operate 24hrs. You need to travel.
@@thandisilec835 can u get a loan from your ewallet provider?
@@meleas8262 you must lack reading comprehension as I didn’t say it’s not a system that’s not developed for the market it was originally intended for, the unbanked in Kenya…I merely explained why it didn’t work in a more formally banked society…it failed 3 times of trying to launch it in SA and clearly many other countries because if it was successful in other countries like it is in Kenya, this video wouldn’t have been made by this channel. No idea how widely available or known it is by US consumers, I don’t live there so I only spoke on my country where I know it’s been a non-starter here and I explained to you the reasons why as you had given some wild unfounded reasons…vendors hold cash in SA in millions and security isn’t a threat and you clearly don’t know SA had had other money transfer systems which were working and entrenched that mpesa just couldn’t compete it convince users to switch. You also lack how business and meeting a market’s (consumers) needs work if you think people already using established money transfer systems and services in their country will switch to a new system that’s not well established and doesn’t give them a compelling reason as to why they should…the fact that is was not easily available with any vendors(Mpesa just has poor distribution and availability in SA as many vendors or business weren’t clamouring to partner with it in SA, hence I said it wasn’t easily available). I’m glad it works in some markets but clearly the market analysts for the mpesa owner didn’t do due diligence in researching what could set them apart in some other markets and adjust their service offering and user experience accordingly , hence this video also explained why it’s failed in other markets including India which has a huge unbanked citizenry. Lol I can’t even take your comments around banking in Kenya too seriously as I know financial services sector is a less regulated area there than it in SA, hence I also mentioned on my initial response that SA being heavily regulated in terms of financial services and banking also didn’t help mpesa in SA…you can’t just introduce a financial services offering without regulatory requirements being met. I know in Kenya you have hundreds of banks there so I guess it’s a more open market. Standard Banking hours being longer there honestly is neither here nor there, as banking services are highly digitised in SA, literally majority South Africans don’t go into banks physically to do banking now(mostly the elderly and less literate who have to go into brick and mortar for banking services),its all done on smartphones and all SA banks in SA know this and operate accordingly, so opening of banks for long hours wouldn’t make sense here. Maybe long banking hours are a market need in Kenya but not in SA because banks are open 24/7 here online with safe banking apps and platforms we can all accesses from wherever we are…even whilst travelling internationally. Makes life simple honestly. I do admire how mpesa works but clearly it’s well suited for some markets not all
Lies lies..... Mpesa was not invented by white people 😂😂it was invented by a kenyan
You've seen the way they are really trying to twist the story whilst we all now that it was a Kenyan invention
🇰🇪👍🏾😁
fake news on who created it
Rot of money
😏 Promo'SM
Lies Lies
Hahaha Kenyans who can't even make toothpicks are pretending that they invented a high tech transfer system. Not understanding that every single large company in Kenya is owned and run by mzungu....
Tanzanian detected.
What are u saying mpesa is a kenyan invention na haturingi
Don't pride yourself for being ignorant. Just do your research before opening your mouth.
Mpesa was invented by a Kenyan
Says a Tanzanian who's only known invention is witchcraft, envy, hatred for anything Kenyan and finally copious amounts of smelly poop!!
u r sick men it is a fact men Mpesa was created by a brilliant computer science student at a Kenyan university, Nyagaka Ouko, and not by Nick Hughes.
