Little App Kenya has partnered with Absa Bank Kenya and Visa to unveil a new cashless payment solution as the transition to digital payments grows.
The system incorporates the Near Field Communication (NFC) payment feature.
The feature streamlines and expedites the payment process on the app by allowing drivers to accept card-based payments using Android smartphones.
Litte App Kenya CEO Kamal Budhabatti said the introduction of the NFC payment feature reinforces our commitment to revolutionizing convenience and efficiency within the ride-hailing industry.
By incorporating Visa’s renowned expertise and Absa’s local insights, we are confident that this partnership will greatly enhance our users’ payment experience,” he said.

The platform will ride on Absa’s Mobi Tap app solution, which turns a smartphone into a point of sale (POS), allowing customers to tap their contactless debit or credit cards on the driver’s gadget to transact.
Visa Kenya Country Manager Eva Ngigi-Sarwari stated that through the collaboration, any Little App driver can start accepting card payments on their NFC-enabled smartphone without the need to purchase a separate POS machine.
“We look forward to enabling all the drivers in the Little App ecosystem as we continue to expand access to digital payment options,” she added.
