Ever since the highly successful launch of M-Pesa by Safaricom in Kenya, Africa hasled the way for innovative, affordable and relevant mobile money services. M-payments and m-banking services have gained momentum in a number of countries across thecontinent, led by operators looking to add to their portfolio of value-added services as well as by banksand financial institutions. However some barriers remain to the development of mobile money services,among which network availability, interoperability, technology delays and regulatory restrictions.
