Why M-PESA Is the Go-To Payment Method in Africa

MPesa’s popularity comes from its unmatched convenience and accessibility. You don’t need a bank account—just a mobile phone. Whether you’re in a big city or a remote village, you can register at local MPesa agents, often found in mobile shops, small retailers, or even barbershops. From there, you deposit cash and convert it into electronic money, ready to send across the country.
Now imagine that same ease and convenience for your travel agency. This is where Penguin Travel Management Software comes in.
