What is M-Pesa?
M-Pesa is a mobile money platform widely used in Kenya and across East Africa. Swaps has no live M-Pesa route today: the local Partna KES on/off-ramp has been paused since 2026-05-07 at Partna’s request, and no other provider currently offers a live KES M-Pesa quote on Swaps. Buying or selling crypto with M-Pesa is not available until a live route returns.
