| Description: |
M-Paisa is a mobile money transfer system aimed at mobile phone customers who do not have a bank account. M-Paisa enables customers to deposit cash, withdraw cash, send and receive money, receive and repay loans, buy airtime and receive salaries. In order to register for M-Paisa, customers should go to an authorized M-Paisa agent to complete the registration form and accept the M-Paisa Terms and Conditions. To transact, customers need to deposit money in their M-Paisa account at an authorized M-Paisa agent. The authorized M-Paisa agent will send e-money to the customer in exchange for cash. When e-money have been deposited, customers can use their mobile phones to transact.
M-Paisa is mainly acting as a vehicle for loan disbursements and repayments of microfinance institutions, with an additional range of business to business applications such as salary disbursement and airtime distribution. Consumer person-to-person transactions is, however, also available, enabling those microfinance institutions clients and employees who have received their money via M-Paisa to benefit from the full capabilities of the service. In 2008, Roshan and Vodafone have launched interactive voice recognition services which enables greater use of M-Paisa by consumers who might otherwise be excluded due to high illiteracy rates in Afghanistan (30% of the population).
