Safaricom has released an updated version of the mySafaricom smartphone application that includes new M-Pesa features and a data usage manager.

M-Pesa customers will now have access to all M-Shwari and KCB M-Pesa functions. 

The bill manager enables customers to manage all their bills in one place and also provides a list of popular bills and those in frequent use.

It also increases accuracy of payments by eliminating the need to key in the Paybill number.
