If so, are there collaborations or partnerships planned with exisiting micro-finance organizations? 2 - Any plans for an M-Pesa ATM card, maybe VISA or Mastercard debit? This could fix 2 problems - the cash flow "float" issue, and get commercial banks to participate and earn from the service. 3 - Are there online wallet services planned? Kenya has many small traders exporting textiles, curios and other small items. An online wallet would greatly ease payment. I have a few questions -
