It gives people without traditional bank accounts access to financial services. • Since its launch in 2007, M-Pesa has spread around East Africa and throughout the continent, to parts of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. • In Kenya, its birthplace, M-Pesa has had a remarkable impact. It has reduced the percentage of Kenyans without access to financial services, increased per capita consumption levels and lifted several households out of poverty. • M-Pesa isn't without its issues, but even its biggest detractors wouldn’t disagree that it has been one of the most impactful technologies in Africa’s history. • Follow get.Africa: • Website: https://get.africa/ • Twitter: / getdotafrica • Facebook: / getdotafrica • Instagram: / getdotafrica • Produced by get.Africa: African tech in a language you'll understand. • About get.Africa: • get.Africa is focused on providing unique insights into Africa’s emerging tech scene. • We do this by collecting and curating knowledge, inspiration and background stories, and adding a point of view you’re unlikely to get anywhere else. • Our illustrated YouTube videos address all aspects of the scene, including fintech, AI, startups, telecoms and more. • We also make bespoke videos. • #kenya #financialinclusion #mobilemoney
