Advantages of using mpesa to withdraw your money from the bank to the phone

• Convenience: you are able to transfer money easily to your phone without having to travel to your bank (which comes at a cost) or hustling to beat the often winding queues in some of Kenyan banks. This is particularly helpful for businesses that sometimes get paid at odd hours ..Maybe you sent an estimate from a software like Zintego and the client decides to pay in advance!
