To serve the local population, online businesses need to be able to accept mobile payments. Safaricom’s M-Pesa is the dominant mobile payment platform, used for 98.5% of transactions by value1. M-Pesa has become the de facto choice for both customers and businesses. Dukalako is well aware of this and has implemented this mode of payment to make it convenient for customers to transact business in a safe manner.Dukalako has also implemented other ways of payment such as Airtel money, yucash and credit card which is mainly targeting the diaspora market.
A major limitation of mobile payments is that high value items cannot be purchased due to a transaction limit of KSh 70,000, and a daily aggregate limit of Ksh 140,000 for senders. These limits are imposed by the Central Bank of Kenya to reduce money laundering via mobile payments.
