To me this is probably one of the worst products in the market simply because they seem to have misled with their advertising that one can withdraw directly from paypal using their card.
But heck I make mistakes too and admit to not having a hela card so can't verify it. But I think Nation is a big company, they can do a demo of their hela account withdrawing from Paypal. I offer $20 in my account which I shall send to the hela people to do the demo.
If it works, I promise to eat humble pie and profusely apologise to all and sundry.
As for paying 500 bob for a debit card. Please, these things are free when you open a bank account.
As for buying products using Mpesa, please go to kopokopo, you can now buy products using mpesa without another third party getting a commission off you.
As for Kenyans in the diaspora using their card, you have got to be kidding me!
Disporans can transfer funds from the bank account straight to western union and straight to a western union debit card which your family controls. Heck they can send you their paypal debit card which you can withdraw at better rates than any bank can ever imagine offering. It takes 10 minutes to do this.
So exactly what type of research went into this thing? What is revolutionary about it?
