M-Pesa charges 2024 provided by Safaricom PLC to charge Kenyans for various Mpesa transactions in 2024.
M-Pesa has come a long way since its launch in Kenya in 2007 by Safaricom and Vodafone. The mobile payment platform is now an integral part of Kenyans’ daily lives. Kenyans can buy goods and services from the comfort of their home just by using their phone for a few minutes.
