I love their determination. It is possible. Let them aim high
It is possible to grow to that number but not realistic to overtake safaricom in such a short time, unless something catastrophic happens to mpesa. The growth of Equitel transaction numbers was through a large influx of customers into the platform. However, its already slowing down June +124k, July +92k, August +79k, September +59k. Mpesa monthly active customers average +250k a month.
Unless Equity's average transaction per user grows tremendously, there wont be any overtaking in two years.
