Partnership Boosts digital financial services adoption in Ethiopia

The partnership marks a pivotal moment in Ethiopia’s journey toward a cashless economy. By enabling additional payment acceptance points, the collaboration seeks to accelerate the adoption of digital financial services nationwide.

With this connectivity, more businesses may use mobile money, lowering cash use and enhancing customer service.

Safaricom M-PESA aims to accelerate the adoption of digital financial services and support Ethiopia’s national digital economy goals by expanding payment acceptance points.

With this partnership, Safaricom is extending its footprint in Ethiopia’s growing digital economy. It was the first non-Ethiopian telecoms operator to enter the market in August 2022. By the end of 2024, the number of M-PESA users on Safaricom Ethiopia’s network had surged to 10.8 million, up from 3.1 million in December 2023.
