Tourist Tap.

CS for Tourism Hon Rebecca Miano EGH, launched the Tourist Tap app for use by tourists visiting the country to make payments using mobile money.

Tourist tap, developed by Craft Silicon in partnership with KCB Bank and Visa will enable international and domestic visitors to make card-based payments directly from their mobile phones to merchants who lack the traditional point of sale infrastructure.

The system allows vendors to receive payments using existing mobile numbers or till accounts, eliminating the need for cash machines.
