Bitpesa offers cheap, fast payment processing and international transactions by employing the blockchain technology. Blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that can efficiently record transactions between parties in a verifiable, permanent way.

Blockchain technology is the bedrock of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Blockchain modernizes cryptocurrencies as they are today.

With Bitpesa the technology they use deploys APIs to work with a network of banks and mobile payment platforms.

Basically, Bitpesa transfers money to the bitcoin blokchain, then it gets transformed into another currency. That is how the Bitpesa comes out as cheap since the charging rates for conventional foreign exchange transfer services is quite higher.
