What we do

Products are distributed and sold through a network of local agents and outlets who are paid commission when customers send payments. This commission is paid via mobile payments.
During a six month trial, MVK has successfully signed up over 250 customers and six agents to this service. The next stage is to conduct second trial in September 2011. After this, the service will be launched across Kenya in March 2012.
