Nairobi, 17 November 2011 --- Over 650,000 customers of fast food outlets under the Innscor chain (Galito’s, Pizza Inn, Chicken Inn and Creamy Inn) can now pay their bills through the globally acclaimed M-PESA service. This follows the signing of a partnership agreement between the Safaricom owned mobile commerce platform and the fast food chain. The payment system will apply at both the tills at the various outlets and also for home deliveries where customers can order and pay through M-PESA.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, Safaricom General Manager in charge of Financial Services Betty Mwangi-Thuo said M-PESA would continue seeking partnerships and innovating to meet the changing needs of its customers.
“We shall continue innovating and entering into strategic partnerships with service providers in our quest to entrench M-PESA as a mobile commerce tool for everyone. We are truly committed to making a difference in the lives of Kenyans through M-PESA. This partnership is aligned with our strategy of taking M-PESA to the next level as more than a money transfer device in line with the Bigger Than Cash positioning,” said Ms. Mwangi.
Over 700 organisations, both public and private, have signed up with the M-PESA ‘Pay Bill’ functionality that enables their customers to pay their bills using mobile money.
Also speaking during the ceremony at their Westgate outlet, Morne Deetlefs, the MD of Innscor Kenya Ltd, said: “Mobile Money is a convenient way to pay for food at either our tills or when you want food delivered to your house. Innscor is always in pursuit of ensuring that we make purchasing as convenient as can be. M-PESA has met the requirement of ensuring that convenience for the customer is met.”
