Dear Kenyans, Enjoy Seamless Payments This Easter

Last week, as I sat at a restaurant enjoying my meal, I couldn’t help but overhear a conversation at the next table. A middle-aged couple was discussing their Easter holiday plans.

The woman enthusiastically suggested a trip to Mt. Kenya or, if their budget allowed, her favorite destination, Zanzibar. Her partner chuckled and teased, “You always have a new idea for relaxation.” After a brief pause, he leaned in and said, “My love, I already have a holiday plan, but it is a surprise.” I saw the woman sigh with relief in her seat, pleased with the news. As they finished their meal and requested the bill, the man reached into his pockets, checked his jacket, and suddenly looked up with a concerned expression. Perhaps he had forgotten his wallet.

After a brief pause, the lady smiled and reached for her phone. Without hesitation, she assured him there was no need to worry. With a few quick taps on her mobile phone, the bill was settled instantly. The man exhaled in relief and joked, “Without you, I might have ended up washing dishes in this kitchen.” They laughed, stood up, and walked out hand in hand, leaving me reflecting on how seamless payments have become.

Easter is a time of celebration, travel, and quality moments with loved ones. The excitement of planning trips, shopping for gifts, and indulging in festive meals fills the air. In the middle of all this, the last thing anyone wants is to be slowed down by payment hassles, digging through wallets, transferring money between accounts, or dealing with delays at checkout. A smooth, reliable way to pay makes all the difference.

You can shop, eat out, or run errands with total ease wherever you are! From supermarkets and boutiques to hotels and local markets, making payments is fast, easy, and secure with Equity payment options. Whether you are swiping your Credit, Debit, or Prepaid card, using a Pay Bill number, transacting via a Mobile Banking App, or tapping into your Mobile Money Wallet, Equity has got you covered. Paying for goods and services is no longer a painstaking endeavour. And the best part? Your payments are free from one Equity platform to another and reflect instantly, thanks to real-time processing with no waiting or second-guessing if a payment went through.

If you prefer mobile banking, the Equity Mobile App offers a smooth and secure way to pay. Log in, and select “Pay for goods & services,”. A few taps on your Equitel line, navigating through Menu > My Money > Pay for goods & services, and just like that, the payment is made.  Equity also integrates seamlessly with M-Pesa. If you are a customer making a purchase, simply go to Lipa na M-Pesa > Paybill 247247 > Enter the Business Number provided by the vendor. Your payment is processed instantly. For Airtel users, paying with Equity is just as simple. Navigate to Airtel Menu > Make Payments > Paybill 247247 > Enter Ref., and you are all set.

This Easter, embrace opportunities with solutions that simplify payments and move without interruptions. Transfer funds, pay bills, and even buy airtime with Equity. The next time you see the Equity Merchant Till Number or make a payment, pay with Equity and experience the convenience firsthand. Just like the couple at the restaurant, you too can enjoy the holiday moments stress-free.
