Jumia has announced a 20% discount for payments made through Mastercard cards during this year’s Jumia Black Friday, which will kick of on November 3, 2022.
Among the top discounts will be a 14—seater matatu retailing for only Ksh100.

Jumia Black Friday will run from November 3 to 30, 2022.
This is the company’s 7th Black Friday, which, according to Jumia, aims to support businesses by reaching more consumers on the platform. Jumia Black Friday will be in partnership with Transsion Holdings (Infinix, TECNO & itel) as Platinum sponsors and other brand partners like Vision Plus, Xiaomi, Beefeater, Nivea, Garnier, and Gordons.
“This year’s Black Friday is unique given the challenging business environment for our sellers as difficult economic times persist. We are grateful to the thousands of Kenyan businesses participating in this event and their efforts to offer the best deals to consumers. This also re-affirms Jumia’s commitment to the future of online retail in Kenya,” said Juan Seco, Jumia Kenya CEO.
The annual sales event was initiated in Kenya in 2015 by Jumia, and has largely contributed to the adoption of e-commerce countrywide through massive awareness.
“We are happy to be part of this year’s Jumia Black Friday, where consumers can expect great deals on our latest products which include TECNO, Infinix, and itel brands,” said Ray Fang, Transsion Holdings’ Kenya Regional MD.
Banks, notably Standard Chartered, l&M, and ABSA, have partnered with Jumia during this Black Friday to offer incentives through card payments.
