This pesalink looks like a monumental failure, as expected!

Now its free for 2 months, telling us how useless it is.

Main issue is stupid banks have limited transfer to 70k...when it can handle upto 1m. Self defeating!!


Kenyans are peculiar,they tend to stick to a trusted service provider irrespective of costs.

No, I think the issue here is the bank imposed limits. Pesalink is for people with bank accounts, and thus should be used for transfers over the mpesa 70k limit.

Banks in Kenya are blind.

Actually, majority of mpesa users are unbanked.

Pesalink was the banks' answer to mpesa for the ones with bank accounts. Half the banks didn't sign up, and those that did imposed useless limits rendering it impotent at the go.

Now they've dropped charges, but its the unbanked who are cost conscious...they can't use Pesalink anyways.

Kenyan banks are soooooooooooooo dumb....
