Users will be able to take advantage of the new service to get an instant overdraft and top up their balance to make a transaction, such as; sending money without withdrawal feels, purchasing credit, purchasing packages, purchasing products, subscription services and more.

Hashim Mukudi, Managing Director of Vodacash said: “M-Pesa continues to provide the DRC with the solutions that can benefit the population and promote digital and financial inclusion. Together we can drive economic development and provide services to those in dire need of access to financial services in rural and remote areas.”
