Have you ever gone to the super market and instead of picking the kasmall shopping basket, you pick the huge trolley because you know you ballin’? So you go around picking the most expensive items on the shelves coz hakuna msee anaweza kushow any! You get to the counter and when you reach out to chuck money from your hand bag, there’s nothing. You nervously start telling the attendant that the cash must be in your side pocket. Saa hiyo uko karibu kuoverturn kibeti ukitafuta macoins. Nakwambia pale ndio jasho jebamba hutiririka!
This has happened to me a trillion times, especially when I go shopping with my best friend. It’s like we are always laughing and making jokes until the point where we get to the counter then realize, pesa hamna!
If you’ve noticed over the years, payment of goods has revolutionized, in Kenya particularly. Gone are the days where if you don’t have cash in your pocket, you are unable to buy goods in a store or like supermarket. I think many of you can agree with me that one of the best inventions to ever hit the Kenyan market is M-Pesa. The flexibility is insane! I mean you can easily make any kind of payments using your device as long as you have the Safaricom tool on your device.
So there’s this new development in town called Mpesa 1Tap. If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard about it but aren’t too sure what it is. Basically, it’s a faster way to pay with Mpesa using a card, phone sticker or wristband device that is connected to your Mpesa account.
How it works is that:
-The store vendor will key in the amount to be paid onto the Mpesa 1Tap point of sale device
-You then tap your Mpesa 1Tap tag onto the point of sale
-You will then receive a pop up on your phone asking you to enter your M-Pesa pin for the transaction to be processed.
Imagine that’s it. Just tap, enter your mpesa pin on your device, pay and go. Easy huh?
I know the next question you’re probably asking yourself is where can I get this tag, wristband or sticker? So you can visit any Safaricom retail shop, Mpesa Agent or Safaricom authorized dealer where it will be connected to your M-Pesa account and activated for FREE. Yes you read it right.
If you’ve tried the M-Pesa 1Tap how was the experience for you? If you haven’t tried it, go try it ASAP. You’ll thank me later.
