The DigiSkills programme aims to upskill economically displaced and underrepresented individuals with five learning paths covering the most critical technical and specialist skills needed by businesses today and in the future. The programme also offers two specialist non-technical learning tracks, namely Project Management and Customer Service Specialist. According to Nedbank, this initiative seeks to harness the individual and collective capabilities of each of the partners to provide the support needed to access the training.
It includes strategic partnerships with the public and private sectors, and non-profits like Afrika Tikkun to extend the reach of digital skills to more South Africans, and support them on their learning journeys through assistance with registering, determining the best learning pathway, completing this pathway, and sourcing work experience, job placement, and entrepreneurial opportunities.

We also believe that it will contribute significantly towards easing many of the burdens currently faced by the unbanked in South Africa, thus bringing marginalised individuals into the economic mainstream. The successful roll-out of M-PESA in countries such as Kenya and Tanzania has shown that our technology can meet the the demand for easily accessible secure payment services, particularly for those who were previously excluded from the existing systems.
Outlets are retail stores, spazas, community service containers and all Nedbank branches. At outlets customers can register for the service and also deposit money into their M-PESA account or withdraw it as cash. They may also choose to buy airtime or transfer the money to another person. Blue Label and Smart Call are also recruiting small and medium sized outlets across the country including in many rural areas.
At launch M-PESA is offering basic money transfers but Nedbank and Vodacom are in the process of implementing additional services such as paying bills and buying goods. Fincash » M-Pesa. Established back in by Safaricom, one of the largest mobile phone operators of Kenya, M-Pesa is a mobile banking service that enables users to transfer and store money through their phones. Their service is a combination of two different entities, wherein M signifies mobile, and Pesa stands for payment or money in Swahili language.
As mentioned above, M-Pesa is a virtual banking system. It basically offers transactional services through a SIM card. The money that should be stored is provided to a kiosk attendant who transfers it digitally to the M-Pesa account of a user. Cash that is collected from M-Pesa can easily be deposited in Safaricom held bank accounts. To offer a transaction proof, M-Pesa issues a receipt. To make a transaction, both of the parties will have to exchange their phone numbers as these numbers act as the account numbers.
Once a settlement has been done, both parties get an SMS notification with the amount of money withdrawn or deposited in the account and the full name of the other party.
