The new partnership will see customers in the said financial institutions experience free person to person transactions by use of mVisa.

Some of the banks that have partnered with Visa include;

i) Barclay’s Bank of Kenya

ii) Cooperative Bank of Kenya

iii) Ecobank

iv) Family Bank of Kenya

v) National Bank of Kenya

vi) NIC Bank

vii) Prime Bank
