Safaricom and NHIF launch M-PESA mini app

Kenya-based communication solutions company Safaricom has rolled out a mini-app version of M-PESA that will provide NHIF’s transacting services.

The NHIF mini-app will provide all NHIF services through the super app, enabling customers to access services wherever they are without visiting NHIF offices or downloading a separate app. Payment and account reconciliation services are already live on the mini-app, with procedure approvals set to become available soon.

Safaricom launched the M-PESA super app in June 2021, providing M-PESA customers with a digital and convenient way to transact. The super app introduces additional M-PESA functionality including fingerprint and face authentication for transactions, Send to Many, on-demand statements, personal transaction notes, and access to businesses through the mini-apps.
