Mobile money defied the onslaught by inter-bank transfer platform PesaLink to grow the amount transacted via phones by nearly a fifth in the first four months to April.

The latest Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) data shows that mobile payments grew 15 per cent to Sh1.19 trillion at the end of April compared to Sh1.04 trillion during a similar period last year.
