Safaricom’s Bigger Move: Making MyOneApp the Default Starting Point
Safaricom isn’t just launching another app. Instead, the telecom giant is transforming MyOneApp into the default starting point for payments, airtime, home internet, rewards, and partner services. As Kenya’s mobile money market shifts from customer growth to everyday use, this strategy aims to keep users engaged and simplify their daily digital life.
Why MyOneApp Matters for Kenyan Users
With M-Pesa already dominating mobile money, Safaricom’s focus is now on everyday transactions. MyOneApp brings together multiple services in one place, reducing the need to switch between apps. This makes it easier for users to:
- Send and receive money via M-Pesa
- Buy airtime and data bundles
- Manage home internet plans
- Access loyalty rewards and partner offers
- Pay for goods and services at partner stores
A Shift from Growth to Daily Use
The Kenyan mobile money market is maturing. Instead of chasing new customers, Safaricom is focusing on increasing usage frequency. By making MyOneApp the central hub, the company encourages users to perform more transactions daily—from paying for groceries to topping up internet.
Key Features of MyOneApp
Here’s what makes MyOneApp stand out:
- Unified dashboard: See your balance, airtime, and rewards in one screen
- Quick payments: Scan to pay at partner merchants without leaving the app
- Rewards integration: Earn and redeem points from Safaricom’s loyalty program
- Home internet control: Manage your Wi-Fi plan, check usage, and pay bills
- Partner services: Access discounts and offers from third-party businesses
How This Benefits You
Using MyOneApp saves time and reduces app clutter. Instead of opening separate apps for M-Pesa, airtime, and internet, you get everything in one place. This is especially useful for busy professionals, small business owners, and anyone who wants a seamless mobile experience.
Tips to Get the Most Out of MyOneApp
- Enable notifications to receive reward alerts and payment confirmations
- Link your M-Pesa account for instant transactions
- Explore partner offers to save money on everyday purchases
- Use the app to track your spending and manage budgets
The Future of Mobile Money in Kenya
Safaricom’s strategy reflects a broader trend: mobile money is no longer just about sending cash. It’s becoming a digital lifestyle platform. With MyOneApp, the company is positioning itself as the go-to tool for Kenya’s digital economy. Expect more integrations with banks, retailers, and government services in the coming months.
In short, MyOneApp isn’t just another app—it’s the new default for how Kenyans manage money and services every day.
