New Mpesa charges after the increase of the Excise tax to fund universal healthcare...

Meanwhile, Safaricom has limited the number of free transactions of below Sh100 to three in a day which, if exceeded, then M-Pesa users will pay Sh1 for amounts between Sh1 and Sh49 and Sh2 for amounts between Sh50 and Sh100.

Let's hope the same cap doesn't affect Lipa na Mpesa 100 and below payment transactions...

I prefer bankcard payments as opposed to mobile money payments which incur extra charges...

Kenya's Safaricom is in "advanced talks" with the Ethiopian government to introduce its popular M-Pesa mobile money service, a major step towards establishing a toe-hold in the market of 100 million people, two sources said on Tuesday.

Britain's Vodafone, Safaricom's ultimate parent company, will license the use of the M-Pesa trade name to an Ethiopia-based bank while Safaricom will host the servers in Nairobi, one Kenyan telecoms industry source told Reuters.

I think the Airtel "growth" is mainly as a result of availability of Twin-SIMs smartphones which Kenyans are becoming more Kenyans/youth interested in having Airtel as their second network just to take advantage of their new product offering - likes of tubonge and double data offers on 4G...

The pie is being shared. Safaricom's data service, though more reliable, costs at least 2x other telcos.
