Digital commerce enabler Network International has launched an in-person payment solution in Kenya to revolutionize payment systems.

Network International East Africa Acquiring Regional Managing Director Judy Waruiru said introducing the company’s point-of-sale (POS) is its strategy to enter the in-person payments market in Kenya.

Network International says that Kenya presents a ripe opportunity for growth in in-store payment solutions.

Over 55,000 point-of-sale machines are in use, lower than the country's 7.4 million registered micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.

The network’s approach includes offering cost-effective solutions, such as QR code payments, to enhance merchants' adoption and accessibility of card payments.
