Kipochi has launched as Africa’s first bitcoin wallet, piggy-backing on Kenya’s M-Pesa system.

M-Pesa is widely popular mobile payment system in Kenya with more than 70% of the country’s adult population using the virtual wallet for small transfers.

The system is supplied by Vodacom through Kenyan mobile operator, Safaricom, though the Kipochi to M-Pesa service is operated by an independent 3rd-party company in Kenya and is not directly affiliated with Safaricom.
