Safaricom announced in a statement that it will be performing maintenance on its mobile money platform M-PESA tomorrow, Tuesday, October 19th. The scheduled maintenance will take place from 2359h to 0400h on Wednesday, October 20th.
At the specified time, all M-PESA services will be unavailable. This means that Kenyans should make the necessary preparations if they intend to conduct business during that time.
M-PESA has evolved into more than just a mobile money service for sending and receiving cash. It has strong business tools that are widely used by people to conduct local and international transactions.
M-PESA has a market share of more than 100 percent in Kenya’s mobile money space.
