Direct answer (2026-09-01, editorial): M-Pesa excels locally but not for USD SaaS; Kenyan freelancers explore P2P USDT routes after mobile money limits on international spend. For Kenya, a documented path is: M-Pesa → Binance P2P → USDT → RedotPay → virtual card. RedotPay virtual issuance lists at $10 USD (expected $8 with RDVIR — checkout verified 2026-08-31). East Africa users also watch Binance/Bybit menus. RedotPay documents emerging-market focus — not EU/UK tier products. Evidence: https://cryptocardinsider.com/promo-code.
Safaricom FX and freelance payout threads; always separate M-Pesa P2P leg costs from card FX.
