𝐌-𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚 M-PESA Africa, is expanding its partnership with global payment infrastructure provider Thunes to enable seamless payments in China. The upcoming integration, announced on Friday, will allow M-Pesa users from Kenya and Tanzania to make direct payments at Chinese merchants by simply scanning QR codes through their M-Pesa Super App, eliminating the need for forex conversions and addressing a major pain point for African travelers in China who previously struggled with the country's predominantly cashless payment ecosystem dominated by Alipay and WeChat Pay. This expansion builds upon Safaricom's existing relationships with Chinese payment giants and leverages Thunes' extensive global payment infrastructure, which connects to over 7 billion mobile wallets and bank accounts worldwide through more than 320 payment methods.  #MPesaInChina #CashlessAfrica #FintechInnovation #GlobalPayments #Thunes #china #tanzania #kenya

For long, travellers to China have struggled to make payments as millions of businesses in the country only accept local cashless payments. We are excited to announce that we are expanding our partnership with Thunes and in coming months, Safaricom PLC customers in Kenya and Vodacom Tanzania Plc customers in Tanzania will be able to scan to pay at Chinese merchants from their M-PESA Super App. Customers will not need to make Forex conversions as payments will be made directly from their M-PESA account, providing unparalleled convenience whenever they travel to China.
