Kenyan travellers can now access mobile data in more than 200 destinations worldwide without the usual airport SIM-card scramble, after Kwetu eSIM officially launched on the Safaricom M-PESA Super App.
The integration allows Kenyan travellers, tourists and business professionals to buy and activate international mobile data directly using their M-PESA balances, eliminating the need for physical SIM swaps, international credit cards and costly roaming charges.
Through the Kwetu eSIM Mini App, users can browse available packages, make payments in Kenya Shillings and receive their digital SIM profiles within minutes.
“Travelers want instant, reliable data without the friction of physical SIM swaps or complicated payment methods,” said Kevin Mwando, GM at Kwetu eSIM. “By bringing Kwetu eSIM into the M-PESA Super App, we are making global connectivity as effortless as sending money back home. You can now configure your travel data package before takeoff and connect automatically the moment you land.”
