Safaricom and Jumia have partnered to extend a 5% discount to shoppers of the e-commerce platform who pay with M-Pesa. This discount will be available for the entire month of November and will be applicable to Jumia shoppers with transactions of at least Ksh 1,000.
The discount will be redeemable for the first three transactions and will have a maximum limit of Ksh 250 per transaction.
“Jumia’s Black Friday is the biggest sale of the year – and it is all about saving customers money. As customers continue to feel the economic pressure of COVID-19, we expect the event to be very relevant. Throughout November you can save by shopping on Jumia. We are happy to partner with Safaricom to offer consumers using M-PESA at checkout an extra 5% off. Don’t forget the biggest deals will be exclusively on the Jumia App and we urge our consumers to download it for the best deals.” said Sam Chappatte, Jumia Kenya CEO.
Once a customer chooses to pay via M-Pesa, the 5% discount will be applied to their total shopping value. This offer will run from November 1st all through the month.
“The ability to sell and buy remotely coupled with M-PESA’s safety and convenience has seen more customers and businesses continue to embrace the service. We are excited to partner with Jumia to reward online shoppers across the country for paying with M-PESA, even as we continue to celebrate our 20th Anniversary,” said Peter Ndegwa, Chief Executive Officer, Safaricom.
