The payment card will enable Boda Boda operators to grow their business while reducing the costs associated with handling cash. The payment card will also let the Boda Boda operators be in complete control of their payments, thereby minimizing the risks of unauthorized transactions.

According to Charles Gichira, Principal, Boda Boda Safety Association of Kenya there are over 1.2 million registered operators under BAK and the group is on track to create a formidable investment block that can create income-generating opportunities beyond their day-to-day operations on the road.

The move to digitize payments in the Boda Boda sector will enable riders trace their money in terms payments from their customers and withdrawals from their transactions accounts.

Customers can use Visa on mobile to send money directly from their bank to a recipient’s bank account regardless of whether they use the mobile app or USSD code of the bank.

Visa on mobile is now live in Egypt, Ghana, India, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and Tanzania. There are plans to launch in Uganda, Zambia and other countries in Africa in the near future.
