Quote:Kenyan banks Thursday morning launched a mobile money platform that will allow customers to transfer up to about Sh1 million in a single transaction.
PesaLink is jointly owned and operated by banks through Integrated Payment Services Limited (IPSL), a subsidiary of the Kenya Bankers’ Association (KBA).
“The system will enable users to transact as low as Sh10 and as much as Sh999,999 across the banking system,” said KBA chief executive Mr Habil Olaka. http://www.businessdaily...15130-dwdo6sz/index.html

Code:https://ipsl.co.ke/pesalink/ Seems they (IPSL) have set a base on which individual banks are to build on. - first point on how to use the pesalink service is listed as Access your bank using your preferred device/ channelSite very vague on key data like cost of funds transfers. Live and learn; and don’t forget, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

This pesalink looks like a monumental failure, as expected! Now its free for 2 months, telling us how useless it is. Main issue is stupid banks have limited transfer to 70k...when it can handle upto 1m. Self defeating!! Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Pesalink is for people with bank accounts, and thus should be used for transfers over the mpesa 70k limit. Banks in Kenya are blind. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Actually, majority of mpesa users are unbanked. Pesalink was the banks' answer to mpesa for the ones with bank accounts. Half the banks didn't sign up, and those that did imposed useless limits rendering it impotent at the go. Now they've dropped charges, but its the unbanked who are cost conscious...they can't use Pesalink anyways. Kenyan banks are soooooooooooooo dumb.... Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

is Coop Bank in this platform? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen
