Instead of carrying cash or bank slips, you pay via M-Pesa and get an instant SMS receipt.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Business Transactions:<\/b> Small business owners use the paybill to move their daily earnings from their M-Pesa tills into a secure bank account where it can earn interest.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Emergency Deposits:<\/b> If you have an automated bill or a loan repayment due at midnight, you can use the paybill to fund your account instantly from home.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Saving and Investing:<\/b> Moving small amounts of money regularly into a savings account helps you build a financial cushion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">According to the <a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.knbs.or.ke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwiv9L6EiJySAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQjwQ\">Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS)<\/a>, the use of mobile money to bank transfers has grown by over 20% in the last few years.
