"From now onwards, customers of other mobile money networks such as M-Pesa, Airtel Money and EasyPesa will be able to transact with Tigo Pesa customers and pay for goods at our wide network of Tigo Pesa merchants spread all over the country."
Customers from across all networks can now pay for services or products at any merchant shops across the country displaying ‘Lipa hapa kwa Tigo Pesa’ sign.
