Best Payment Providers in Kenya

Kenya is the birthplace of mobile money and home to M-Pesa — the world's most successful mobile payment platform with over 30 million users. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) oversees payment service providers under the National Payment System Act. Mobile money dominates consumer payments while card and bank transfer infrastructure is mature. For high-risk merchants, Kenya's regulated iGaming market and active forex trading scene create strong demand for specialist payment processors comfortable with these verticals.
