How to use the telecom money Interoperability

Mobile Money Interoperability is the ability to send/receive money to/from customers who are on a different mobile money network. The money sent from a different network is added directly to the customer’s account balance in the same way it would reflect had it been sent by a customer on the same network. Before interoperability the receiver of money would get a voucher code and go to the sender’s network to withdraw the money.

 

The benefit of “Interops” is that the customer can use the money received from another network to pay a bill, make a purchase at a merchant or make a withdrawal from their own network agent. Lastly, the customer will not be pressured to withdraw the money within 7 days since it is already in their mobile money wallet. The only condition to enjoy Interoperability is that the customer must be registered for either T-kash, Airtel Money or M-pesa. Customers who are not registered on mobile money will continue to receive voucher codes.
