Kenya’s payments platform, Pesaflow, and Visa, a digital payments giant, have partnered to improve digital payments within the Kenyan government.

This collaboration could significantly improve the effectiveness, transparency, and inclusivity of public services while also encouraging financial inclusion.

Pesaflow is a platform that offers a single citizen profile and easy access to more than 5,000 services from more than 100 Ministries, Counties, Departments, and Agencies within the Kenyan government.

It is a division of Webmasters Kenya, the company that created the online citizen portal eCitizen, which provides a range of services to Kenyans.

Pesaflow’s solutions offer platforms for government services and a dependable way to collect payments from the public.

Now, the platform wants to advance its services by providing improved solutions to the public sector and citizens utilising government services via Visa’s network and security infrastructure.

The partnership will focus on creating simple and user-friendly digital payment systems, including digital and virtual cards and secure gateway services.

The Visa Government Solutions team will collaborate closely with Pesaflow to digitise government services and integrate Visa solutions. The focus is on giving citizens several payment options and making it easier for the government to collect taxes, leading to better financial management, cost savings, and public services.
