The answer is yes.
Safaricom Kenya recently introduced cross boarder money transfer between Kenya and Tanzania.
This is to help Kenyans who are living, working or studying across border to be able to send, receive and withdraw money though Mpesa service.
The service came into life weeks after Safaricom largest share holder Vodacom created an avenue for international Money Transfer.
Kenyans are now able to send money from Mpesa to Vodacom and vice versa easily without any complication.
How then can you send money to Vodacom Tanzania through Mpesa?
The procedure is very simple.
Send money from Mpesa Kenya to Vodacom users in Tanzania.
