The State is considering introducing insurance for mobile money deposits, such as M-Pesa and Airtel Money, to cover losses should any of the banks holding their e-savings collapse.

The Kenya Deposit Insurance Corporation (KDIC) is in talks with mobile money operators and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) about an insurance to cover the mobile money deposits and cut the risk exposure.
