WhatsApp Pay enables a user to pay for goods or just send money as simple as sending photos. The company plans to make the WhatApp pay to be a universal digital payment method across the world.

Just some few days after the launch of WhatsApp Pay, Safaricom the leading telecommunication giant company that runs the so successful digital payment method M-Pesa has received tips from analyst on the possibility of its survival.
