“Money, real quick:” – a book on M-Pesa and the Kenyan mobile money revolution
0Money, Real Quick: The story of M-PESA
Written by Tonny Omwansa, Nicholas Sullivan and The Guardian, “Money, real quick” is the story of the world’s most successful mobile money service, “M-Pesa.”
In the words of the book’s authors:
Nowhere is this mobile money phenomenon more prevalent and successful than in Kenya. In five years, 19 million Kenyans, nearly 70% of the adult population, have signed up for mobile money services. Sixteen million are customers of M-PESA (‘M’ for Mobile and pesa means money in Swahili). Now, one out of every two people in the world who sends money over a mobile phone is a Kenyan. Mobile money is the rare case in which a poor African country is the global market leader and an exporter of innovation.
