Interswitch and VIPASO Team Up to Bring Tap-and-Go Mobile Money to East Africa, No Internet Needed!

28 Apr 2024

East Africa is about to get a major payment upgrade! Tech giants Interswitch and VIPASO have joined forces to introduce VIPASO, a game-changing solution that lets you tap your phone and pay, even if you're offline. That's right, no internet is needed!

Think of paying for your taxi ride, market groceries, or restaurant bill with just a tap, even in a dead zone. VIPASO makes it possible through two simple apps: one for customers and one for merchants. They connect via Bluetooth, working on any device from smartphones to basic feature phones, even Android POS terminals.


This isn't just about convenience; it's about opening doors for everyone. For those without fancy tech or reliable internet, VIPASO unlocks the digital economy, boosting financial growth across the region.

"This collaboration bridges the gap in the payment industry," says Romana Rajput, Interswitch Kenya's Country General Manager. "VIPASO reflects our commitment to digitalization and inclusion in East Africa."

Wolfgang Platz, VIPASO President, agrees, stating, "We're thrilled to partner with Interswitch to deliver innovative payment options for the region."


With VIPASO, East Africa is stepping into a future where cash isn't king, and convenience reigns supreme. Get ready for a payment revolution powered by Bluetooth and the vision of Interswitch and VIPASO.
