Safaricom continues to enhance the offering of its recently launched Ethiopian service. The latest innovation is a payment system aimed at entrepreneurs, businesses and government.<\/p>\n
Safaricom M-Pesa Mobile Financial Services, a subsidiary of Safaricom Ethiopia, and Ethiopian payment solution provider Chapa Financial Technologies Share Company have entered into a partnership agreement to provide M-Pesa services for entrepreneurs, businesses and government services on Chapa\u2019s payment aggregator platform.<\/p>\n
This partnership, say the companies, aims to boost the ease of transactions for both merchants and M-Pesa customers in the Ethiopian market.<\/p>\n
Through this agreement, merchants using Chapa\u2019s payment gateway system can receive payments from Safaricom M-Pesa customers and M-Pesa customers can make quick and secure payments to merchants on Chapa\u2019s checkout.<\/p>\n
Paul Kavavu, General Manager of Safaricom M-Pesa Mobile Financial Services PLC, says: \u201cChapa is one of the rapidly growing payment system operators in Ethiopia and partnering with them complements our goal of making M-Pesa available everywhere.\u201d He adds: \u201cThe digitisation process in Ethiopia has picked up momentum and such partnerships further enhance the ease with which people make their transactions.\u201d [\u2026] CONTINUE READING<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Safaricom Ethiopia and Chapa launch business-focused payment system Developing Telecoms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":468167,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-468076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ethiopian-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Safaricom-Ethiopia-and-Chapa-launch-business-focused-payment-system.jpg?fit=748%2C481&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9NivD-1XLC","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468076"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468076\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":468168,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468076\/revisions\/468168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.com\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
