Safaricom has today launched partnerships with Little and Makao that will enable M-PESA customers to access services from the two firms within the M-PESA Super App without customers having to download separate apps.
Customers can access both the Little and Makao M-PESA Mini Apps under the “Discover” option on the M-PESA Super App.
The Little M-PESA Mini App will enable customers to order for taxis, order for bodabodas, order from restaurants and much more.
“We are pleased to partner with Safaricom for the M-PESA mini-app launch enabling Little customers to order their Little rides within the M-PESA Super App. Our long-standing partnership with Safaricom has been instrumental in our expansion. The M-PESA mini-app presents yet another opportunity to serve our customers conveniently,” said Kamal Budhabatti, CEO – Little.
The Makao M-PESA Mini App will enable customers using the M-PESA App to book for short term accommodation and holiday homes anywhere within the country.
“Makao seeks to provide our customers with an easy way to book accommodation, holidays, or experiences anywhere in Kenya. We are pleased to partner with Safaricom to launch the Makao M-PESA Mini App, which presents our hosts with the opportunity to reach more than 30 million customers and holidaymakers with the convenience of easily paying with M-PESA,” said Florence Cheruiyot, CEO – Makao.
As part of the launch, all customers who use the Little M-PESA Mini App will get KSh. 300 off their first two rides for the next one month. Customers who use the Makao M-PESA Mini App will get 15% off on stays booked for the next one month, while the first 10 customers to book rentals in Mombasa will be awarded with free yacht rides.
Safaricom is looking to partner with more than 100 businesses and organisations to provide their services and products as apps within the M-PESA Super App. These include all county services in the country, other government agencies, eCitizen, supermarkets, restaurants, among others
