PesaKit is a Last Mile Agent network platform enabling digital and human interactions to accelerate digital commerce and financial inclusion. Launched in 2018, PesaKit currently operates in Kenya and aims to expand and begin operations in Tanzania by Q4 2020. PesaKit harnesses the power of cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence, combining it with human intelligence, a synergy that facilitates accuracy and consistency in delivering a variety of financial services to improve the financial health of the underserved communities across Africa. Our mission is to empower every mobile money agent across Africa to become the source of more affordable and convenient digital financial services, so they and their communities can grow and prosper.Digitising and disbursing cash is enabled by a network of physical access points, or agents. In most cases, the agent is where customers can deposit or withdraw cash from their mobile money account. While there are other mechanisms to digitise cash, such as salary payments and bank-to-wallet transactions, the digitisation of cash still happens largely at the agents.
