The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) 🇰🇪 wants to develop a new instant payment system, the biggest advance in the country’s money transfer network. The Fast Payment System (FPS), will allow instant transactions across all financial institutions, including banks and payment service providers (PSPs). The Central Bank did not disclose the launch date for FPS. FPS will allow Kenyans to pay bills, send money, and other transactions regardless of their bank. It is a project that seeks to fix the interoperability issue that has made it a pain for payment systems to speak to each other. Pesalink, a payment switch by Kenyan banks and other financial institutions that facilitates electronic transactions between banks, mobile money providers, and other financial institutions in Kenya, was launched in 2015 to fix the interoperability issues. However, it does not have a utility payments segment, and it is not immediately clear where Pesalink will stand once FPS is activated.
