M-Pesa has announced new payment capabilities aimed at expanding convenience for its millions of customers across the continent.

“In line with our purpose of transforming lives, we are innovating our payment solutions to provide customers and businesses with more options and additional convenience,” M-Pesa said in a series of tweets.

The company achieved PCI DSS compliance, building on its strategic partnership with Visa to enable tap-to-pay card payments.

This will empower over 60 million M-Pesa customers and 5 million businesses to receive mobile, online and in-person card payments globally, M-Pesa said.

The mobile money service will also launch a solution for tourists to pair Visa cards with M-Pesa accounts for “seamless payments” at nearly 1 million businesses that accept M-Pesa, the company said.

Additionally, financial companies will be able to leverage M-Pesa’s card processing capabilities to provide “end-to-end mobile and card payment solutions,” according to the tweets.

M-Pesa currently partners with Visa to offer virtual payment cards to tens of millions of customers and merchants in Africa.
