The holiday season in Kenya has undergone significant changes in recent years, with shoppers adopting new habits to make the most of their festive shopping experience.
With the rise of online shopping and mobile payments, Kenyans are now able to shop from the comfort of their homes, avoiding long queues and crowded stores.
According to Co-operative Bank, many Kenyans are taking advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to get hot discounts on their wish lists.
One of the most significant changes in holiday shopping in Kenya is the increased use of mobile payments, with the Co-op Visa card and MCo-opCash app becoming popular alternatives to cash and traditional banking cards.
With these mobile payment options, shoppers can now get instant cash, avoid long queues at ATMs, and even request instant loans from the MCo-opCash app if they are short of cash during the holidays.
As a result, holiday shopping in Kenya has become more convenient, stress-free, and enjoyable, allowing shoppers to focus on what matters most – spending quality time with loved ones during the festive season.
