Kenya’s M-Pesa Platform Bags GSMA Mobile Money Certification for Security and Reliability
Safaricom’s financial service platform M-PESA has successfully passed the GSMA Mobile Money Certification in an announcement made earlier today.
GSMA is a body that represents the interest of about 800 mobile telecoms operators and more than 300 companies that operate in the mobile space across the globe. Its mobile money certification is preceded by the fact that mobile money services are an emerging market phenomenon.
At the moment, about 690 million people in the world have mobile money accounts, with local M-PESA-based users clocking in at 27 million. These numbers back up the idea that mobile money products are no longer limited to a few selected markets.
The industry benchmark means that M-PESA has demonstrated the ability to deliver secure and reliable services and protects consumer rights. It also means that the platform is capable of combating money laundering, terrorism financing and fraud risks.
“The awarding of the GSMA Mobile Money Certification to M-PESA is a strong testament to the heavy investment we have made in people resources and financial investments, which have been critical to building such a robust service. This certification further reassures our customers of M-PESA’s reputation as a trusted, stable and reliable solution,” said Nicholas Mulila, Director – Risk Management, Safaricom.
“The GSMA Mobile Money Certification is a consumer-focused initiative, aimed at giving customers confidence that a provider has taken steps to ensure their funds are in safe hands, their rights are protected and they can expect a high level of customer service,” said John Giusti, Chief Regulatory Officer, GSMA. “With over 690 million accounts globally, the mobile money industry is having a clear impact on the global effort to expand financial inclusion, providing access to life-enhancing financial services and serving as a gateway to the digital economy.”
The service has also showcased top-of-the-line agent and staff management with timely management of customer complaints.
Launched back in 2007, M-PESA’s 11-year journey has been marked by key gains, including the transfer of the systems infrastructure from Germany to Kenya and extra services in the payment services and ensuring wider penetration with its now 148,000 agent shops. The platform has also been imparted with additional security features such as the Hakikisha update to meet transparency purposes, as well as the ability to reverse funds from unintended recipients.
In terms of cybersecurity, Safaricom continues to deploy a team of fraud experts to enhance security and reliability of the mobile money platform, as well as providing first-line customer support.
A few months ago, M-PESA introduced improved APIs to allow third party businesses to integrate payment services on their platforms.
At the moment, five mobile money providers that serve 98 million accounts have been certified. Tanzania’s Vodacom-affiliated M-PESA and Milicom Group’s Tigo have received the badge. Ivory Coast’s Orange Money and Pakistani Telenor Micro-finance have also been certified.

Tigo Tanzania Achieves Global Mobile Money Certification
Dar es Salaam, 13th April, 2018. Tigo Tanzania’s mobile financial services business, Tigo Pesa, has received the GSMA Mobile Money Certification, recognizing Tigo’s ability to deliver safe, transparent, reliable and more resilient services that promote consumer rights and prevent malicious transactions. Tigo Pesa is amongst the first mobile financial services providers around the globe to be certified by the GSMA.
The GSMA Mobile Money Certification is a global initiative to bring safer, more transparent, and more resilient financial services to millions of mobile money users around the world. The GSMA Mobile Money Certification represents a strong proactive move on behalf of the mobile money industry, demonstrating its commitment to Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT), and to delivering quality, safe and fair services to customers and partners.
With over 690 million registered accounts globally, the mobile industry is making the world a better place, and mobile money has given millions of previously unbanked people access to financial services.
Speaking during a press briefing in Dar es Salaam today, Tigo’s Chief Officer of Mobile Financial Services, Hussein Sayed said: “Tigo Pesa is proud of its contribution in driving the financial inclusion agenda in Tanzania by giving millions of previously unbanked people access to financial services. This certification is evidence that we have taken a step further to ensure that customers’ funds are in safe hands, and that their rights are being observed through our business practices and that a high level of customer service can be expected”.
In order to achieve the certification, each mobile financial services provider is measured against global industry best practice, and a pass mark of 100% is required. Certified providers are those that have proven that their business practices are amongst the best in the industry and that they are trustworthy and responsible financial institutions on a par with the rest of the financial ecosystem.
“Tigo Pesa is proud to meet the requisite criteria to receive the GSMA Mobile Money Certification. This not only demonstrates the quality and reliability of our services but ascertains that we are at the cusp of the digital financial revolution that is sweeping the globe,” Hussein added.
In addition to Tigo’s utmost commitment to ensuring that we provide world-class services to our customers, our Tigo Pesa business is delivering the most innovative mobile financial services to our customers. We have always been at the forefront in introducing relevant innovations to the market including: the first operator to create the world’s first interoperable mobile money market, the first East African cross-border mobile money transfer with currency conversion and the first telecoms company worldwide to share profit generated from our Mobile Money Trust Accounts in the form of a quarterly distribution to our customers.
“Certification is a sign that our business practices are among the best in the industry, that we are a trustworthy and responsible mobile financial service institution, and therefore an attractive candidate for collaboration with potential business partners including but not limited to banks,” Tigo’s Chief Officer of Mobile Financial Services added.

GSMA OPENS NEW REGIONAL OFFICE IN NAIROBI
March 15, 2018
Press Release

Nairobi: The GSMA today announced that it has opened new offices at the Delta Annexe, Westlands, Nairobi. Located in the heart of Nairobi’s commercial district, the offices will enable the GSMA to work even more closely with its members and other industry stakeholders to continue to extend the reach and socio-economic benefits of mobile throughout Africa.
“It is an exciting time to raise our profile in Africa, as the region is increasingly vibrant and remains the fastest growing region in the world, accounting for 12 per cent of the world’s mobile subscribers,” said John Giusti, Chief Regulatory Officer, GSMA. “The rapid pace of mobile adoption has delivered an explosion of innovation and huge economic benefits in the region. This office will open up new and exciting opportunities for collaboration between the GSMA and our members, other industries, governments, regional organisations and the international development community as we work to connect everything and everyone to a better future.”
Mobile is a vital tool in delivering digital and financial inclusion in Sub-Saharan Africa. According to research from GSMA Intelligence (GSMAi), around 270 million people in the region now access the internet through mobile devices, while the number of registered mobile money accounts has reached 280 million. The GSMA, through its Mobile for Development programme, is working with mobile operators and others adjacent industries across areas including, mobile-enabled energy, water and sanitation, agriculture, healthcare and gender equality. By leveraging the ubiquity of mobile networks across the region, the mobile industry is delivering innovations aimed at achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The mobile industry is already a key enabler for the regional economy and essential to building a Digital Africa. Mobile technologies and services generated $110 billion of economic value in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2016, equivalent to 7.7 per cent of regional GDP – a figure expected to grow to $142 billion (8.6 per cent of GDP) by 2020 according to GSMAi. The mobile ecosystem also directly and indirectly supported approximately 3.5 million jobs in the region last year, and made a $13 billion contribution to the public sector in the form of taxation.
