If you are a freelancer working online in Kenya for at least the past few years, then you must have experienced the tussle and hustle of getting your hard earned Dollars from PayPal to your hands.
I have been working online and besides PayPal to equity withdrawal services which came to save the day despite the 5-7 days wait, we had absolutely no other better option rather than to work directly with PayPal to Mpesa agents who in return made their smalls profits through the transaction.
Maintaining PayPal to Mpesa agent wasn’t easy considering PayPal limitation and ban, you would woke up to PayPal agents’ cries of account closure due to transaction risk involved per say.
Finally paypal in partnership with safaricom have launched the official paypal to mpesa services which allow any Kenyan with a registered Mpesa line and a verified paypal account to withdraw and add funds to their paypal account via their mpesa.
The news comes after many Kenyans filed online petition requesting paypal to intergrate Mpesa,and through the online participation and emails send to Safaricom by Kenyans working online,the dream has come to pass few hours go.
