TouristTap enables seamless cashless payments across game parks, hotels, and attractions nationwide
Kenya's tourism experience is entering a new, more seamless era with the introduction of TouristTap, a "tap-and-go" solution designed to make travel across the country easier, safer, and more convenient. For tourists, this marks a significant shift in how they interact with destinations, services, and payments throughout their journey.
At its core, TouristTap removes the friction often associated with handling cash or navigating multiple payment options. With a single, unified cashless platform, visitors can now pay effortlessly at game parks, hotels, coastal destinations, and attractions nationwide. This means less time worrying about currency exchanges or carrying cash, and more time enjoying the experience Kenya has to offer.
The app, developed by Craft Silicon and officially recognized by the Government of Kenya, ensures that tourists can transact with confidence. Its integration with KCB Bank Group and Visa, powered by CyberSource on the Visa Acceptance Platform, guarantees secure and reliable payments across different touchpoints. For travellers, this translates into peace of mind—knowing their transactions are protected while moving through unfamiliar destinations.
Ease of use is a major advantage. Tourists can simply use their NFC-enabled mobile devices to make payments by entering local till numbers, paybills, or mobile numbers, then completing transactions with a quick tap and secure PIN. This level of simplicity is especially valuable for international visitors who may not be familiar with local payment systems.

TouristTap signals Kenya's commitment to embracing digital innovation in tourism, placing the visitor experience at the center.
For travellers, it means a more connected, hassle-free, and enjoyable way to explore the destination.
