AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> OVER eight million customers with Vodacom M-Pesa accounts will receive 3.5bn\/- share profit accumulated on M-Pesa trust accounts as reward from using the service.<\/p>\n

The eligible customers for the interest are the ones who transacted between January and March this year.<\/p>\n

Vodacom Tanzania Director of M-Commerce, Epimack Mbeteni said the profit will be paid to all individual customers, retail agents and other MPesa business partners who will receive payments basing on their M-Pesa wallet transactions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen substantial growth on the M-Pesa platform with more customers, agents, merchants and institutions transacting more than 100bn\/- through M-Pesa each day. We are happy with the growth which is why today we can disburse 3.5bn\/- in interest to our customers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Vodacom Tanzania, listed on Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE), has over 11 million customers on its MPesa platform commanding a market share of 39 per cent, according to recent TCRA figures.<\/p>\n

Vodacom Tanzania has so far paid out a total of 133bn\/- as interest to its MPesa customers.<\/p>\n

Mr Mbeteni added that the profit share per customers is calculated as per Bank of Tanzania (BoT) circular and will depend on the level of activity they would have had on M-Pesa for the said period and started to be distributed this Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Vodacom M-Pesa platform is offering tailor made products suited for the local market which have increased financial inclusion and stimulated economic activities across Tanzania.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
