Vodacom Tanzania has secured several agreements to enhance the global usability of its M-Pesa mobile payments service.
The leading telecom provider has partnered with Visa, allowing customers to perform global tap-and-pay transactions using the M-Pesa Visa tokenized card. Additionally, M-Pesa users can now make payments to merchants in China via Alipay, transact in Dubai through TerraPay-supported merchants, and make purchases in Uganda directly into MTN MoMo wallets, facilitated by Thunes.
“Through this combined effort, we are opening new trade corridors, reducing the cost of doing business, and giving customers greater freedom to participate in the global digital economy,” stated Epimack Mbeteni, M-Pesa director at Vodacom Tanzania.
