Post conference Site Visits: Friday 07 May 2010
Attend MMT Africa's site visit, hosted by M-PESA and Grameen Foundation and find out first hand exactly how mobile money has developed in Kenya.
Witness a live money transfer demonstration that will give you an experiential insight into how the product works.
Join us as we visit an M-PESA agent and understand what the point of sale experience is like for customers as they cash out funds from their M-PESA accounts.
Then experience an afternoon of mobile microfinance with visits to three different MFIs.
See how M-PESA is incorporated into microfinance to facilitate loan disbursement and repayment. Learn first hand about the challenges of running a successful agent network as we experience microfinance and M-PESA working together.
Find out just how significant the effect of mobile money could be as we visit an example of a traditional paper-based MFI back office system.
