Equitel has grown to become Kenya’s second biggest mover of mobile money as theplatform now accounts for 14 per cent of all mobile money transactions. This has been achieved slightly over a year since its launch in July 2015.

The data further revealed that Equitel recorded total voice traffic of 47.4 million minutes during the quarter up from 39.4 million minutes posted during the previous period.
