I think) that increased vigilance due to money laundering and the 'war on terror' has made it difficult for credit cards issued in some countries in the 3rd world or those linked with terrorism to be honoured in some developed countries thats for a credit card issued by a Kenyan Bank, I read somewhere (check Twende Magazine for Nov.

Yes, I think Afripay has really done well in bridging that gap! It was my pleasure to share the find with you. Biche Hi Bankelele,

I didn't expect them too. I think how Afripay aids with delivery is by giving you an address in the US to which you can have your items sent, after which Afripay handles delivery from that adress to Kenya. As I said, I've not used that service before so I can't say much more about it. But yeah, that would be quite helpful. About having to call the bank before placing a payment, would that be for a credit card issued from a Kenyan bank, or from outside the country? Biche Hi Kirima,

It is increasingly difficult to get the credit card approved without calling the issueing bank before placing the payment otherwise it will be declined.
