- Summary
- Vodacom's mobile payment platform - M-Pesa - was a partnership between the South African mobile telecommunications company, the Vodacom Group, and the Nedbank Group Limited. In a country with high cellphone penetration and more than 15 million unbanked South Africans' slower than expected uptake was surprising. Mark Taylor, managing executive for Online and Vodacom M-Pesa, was nonetheless convinced that it had potential - but for it to succeed, he had to find ways to overcome the challenges of making mobile money work in a country like South Africa.
