Yes, M-Pesa’s first ever customer was not some top honcho occupying the corner office of some real estate company somewhere in Upperhill.<\/p>\n

It was a gentleman by the name Seth Lumumba from Lusoi, a village in Nyeri County who first took the first leap of faith never to regret 10 years later.<\/p>\n

And his need came out of necessity after he got transferred to Meru and he needed to send money to his family who was left behind in Nyeri.<\/p>\n

So he decided to try out M-Pesa, the money transfer service which was constantly being advertised on radio.<\/p>\n

The first time he tried it out was not easy as he withdrew money from the wrong agent, at Westgate in Nairobi and he was all the way in Nakuru.<\/p>\n

The money was however refunded back to his account 3 days later and soon enough he got the hang of it, setting the precedent for the rest of us.<\/p>\n

It’s been a cool ten years and M-Pesa has become part and parcel of our lives.<\/p>\n

Check out his hilarious life changing experience:<\/p>\n
