Telkom Kenya officially launched the T-kash app last week, an easy-to-use application that will enable its customers to access a wider service offering on its digital financial services platform.
Telkom Kenya CEO Mugo Kibati said the launch of the T-kash App is the culmination of extensive research on evolving customer trends, anchored on the need for simplicity, security, availability and a diversified service offering.
He said the app was designed using a human-centred design approach with the user’s experience being the defining factor.
‘’ The result is an easy-to-navigate platform that seeks to simplify a customer’s experience with respect to mobile financial services. On the back of design research that we conducted, the T-kash App responds to Kenyans’ desire for a simple, easy-to-use mobile money platform. We are currently working on additional loyalty features that are guided by feedback from our customers.” he said.
The T-kash App can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, the Huawei App Gallery as well as the Apple Store. It is a strategic addition through which Telkom customers will access T-kash. Customers currently access T-kash via USSD code *160#.
