Is it just mpesa or all mobile money agencies? If just mpesa some more investigation is required.


Mpesa is almost guaranteed. I don't even know one person with airtel money or the other operators. Or were you referring to agent banking?
I think mpesa is easy prey and they not only need to invest in insurance but more importantly security.

I meant the mobile money agency chain. How come mpesa features prominently? What makes the banking agency model hard to target?


The law of probability. Probability of an mpesa customer coming to your shop are higher than a customer who's come for other products or services. While there are many equal like banks reducing the probability of someone coming for agent banking deposit.

BBI will solve it
