#eKash is Now Live for Person-to-Merchant Transactions!
Today marks a major milestone in Rwanda’s digital payments journey #eKash is now officially live for Person-to-Merchant (P2M) transactions! This is more than just a feature launch; it’s a leap toward financial inclusion, where every Rwandan, from the bustling market vendor in Kimisagara to the growing SME Nyagatare, can transact seamlessly across all platforms.
During the announcement of the person-to-merchant feature going live at #IFF2025, RwandaICT Minister Paula Ingabire said that, 'Imagine a world where your money moves effortlessly, from your e-wallet to anywhere, without friction. That’s the vision of eKash! Rwanda’s digital payment revolution is here, and it’s just getting started.'
At the heart of this revolution is RNDPS, an inclusive payments system that connects users to all marketplaces through a single endpoint. With eKash, users can now pay merchants instantly, affordably, and securely, no barriers, no limits. As RSwitch CEO Blaise Pascal GASABIRA put it, 'The journey of RSwitch is a testament. Together with our partners, financial institutions, and Rwandans at large, we are not merely adapting to change, we are driving it!"
Try It, if you're attending #IFF2025, grab a coffee at participating merchants and experience the power of eKash firsthand.This is just the beginning! Soon, we’ll expand to bulk payments, bill payments, and government services.
Our partners AfricaNenda, Mojaloop Foundation, Access to Finance Rwanda, and Gates Foundation, have been instrumental in making this possible, and together, we are shaping Rwanda’s digital economy.
#eKash is more than a vision, it’s the heartbeat of Rwanda’s inclusive financial ecosystem. The future of payments is here, and it all comes together with #eKash!
