Member News: Ecobank partners Visa to drive mVisa mobile payment in several African countries

Visa, has entered into partnership with Ecobank,  to roll out “mVisa,” an innovative mobile payment service in 33 African markets by year-end. Mvisa enables consumers to pay for goods and services for their everyday expenses from  groceries to  taxi services by simply scanning a QR code on a smart phone or entering a merchant identification number into their feature phones, just as it addresses the need for a convenient, low cost acceptance payments service throughout the continent.

To successfully enable mVisa across Sub-Saharan Africa, the service would be launched in key markets such as Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Tanzania.
In a statement, Group country manager, Visa in Sub-Saharan Africa, Mr. Andrew Torre, said that the partnership would enable Ecobank offer an interoperable mobile payment service with real benefits to drive digital transformation across the continent.
