Published on January 14, 2020, the integration of innovation in payments is rapidly gaining global acceptance, offering customers a range of options for their transactions.
However, in Kenya, card payments are surprisingly lagging behind mobile money and e-wallets, forcing individuals and some corporates to carry large sums of cash for basic goods and services.
This has proven to be costly, tiresome, and risky, with many consumers assuming that using a card is an elitist habit or that banks charge for making card payments.
Equity bank and its partners are working to change this narrative by spearheading behaviour change and promoting the convenience, safety, and security of card payments.
With the use of One Time Pin (OTP) for online payments, customers can secure themselves from fraudulent transactions, while premium cards offer exclusive benefits such as flight and travel discounts, insurance benefits, and hotel discounts.
Pre-paid cards are also an option, available in multiple currencies and with various loading options, making them a convenient channel for making payments.
As you plan your holiday and back to school activities, consider swiping your card at any Equity branded merchant or point of sale terminal for a seamless and secure experience.
