One code for banks and mobile money

Kenyan merchants have long been paid by M-Pesa till numbers. The national standard puts the merchant into a code any participating app can read, bank or mobile money.

Paying a code

The request carries the payload as the camera read it, or the till number as typed. On DVBridge, Kenya is a QR market, not a payout corridor.
