“There is a strong correlation between access to financial services and growth in GDP. While the growth of MPesa has been remarkable, there is still a long way to go to ensure that the national payments infrastructure supports a modern, dynamic economy. We believe that EMP, with its extensive experience and processing scale, can play a key role in the evolving national payments system. We are the most experienced EMV processor on the continent, having been promoting the standard for over 10 years” said Paul Edwards, Executive Chairman of the EMP Group.
