FAQs

Why can't I transfer over Ksh35,000 to unregistered subscribers?

Due to Know Your Customer (KYC)/Anti Money Laundering (AML) policy set by the Central Bank of Kenya, we do not have the mandate to allow transfers of amounts over Ksh35,000.
With the changes in tariffs, have you increased the amounts one can send?

No, the maximum amount one can send remains the same. You can send up to Ksh70,000 in one transaction. The maximum you can send in a day is Ksh140,000. You can only hold up to Ksh100,000 in your M-PESA account.
What is the lowest amount of money I can send on M-PESA?

You can now send as little as Ksh10 on M-PESA. You can also make both payments at kiosks and micro-payments within the lower bands
How much will it cost me to send Ksh10?

It will cost you Ksh 1 to send any amount between Ksh 10 and Ksh 49.
How much will I be charged to send 1000 shillings?

The cost of sending between Ksh 501 to Ksh 1,000 is Ksh 15.
How much does it cost to withdraw Ksh50?

It will now cost you Ksh10 to withdraw between Ksh50 and Ksh100.
How much will it cost me to withdraw Ksh100?

The cost of withdrawing is Ksh 10 for registered M-PESA customers.
Can I still withdraw at an ATM?

Yes you can. You are allowed to make multiple cash withdrawals from the ATM. However the maximum withdrawal amount is limited to Ksh70,000 per day. Withdrawals vary from Ksh20,000-Ksh30,000 depending on the ATM.
How do I know what else has changed with the tariffs?

Visit your agent outlet for more details on the tariffs. You can also visit our website www.safaricom.co.ke or call M-PESA customer care on 234.
When will the new tariffs take effect?

The new tariffs take effect on Thursday, 21st August 2014
Why have you increased the bands?

We have increased the bands in an effort to provide more choices for customers especially those who want to send lower amounts. We have also increased the bands to curb split and direct deposits from agents. The new bands will allow agents to enjoy higher commissions in the various band categories.
How is the new commission structure?

We have increased the commissions on deposits on 16 of the 19 bands. The other 3 bands remain constant on the commissions as per the previous bands.
What are the new tariffs about?

The M-PESA tariff review has seen the introduction of 11 new tariff bands so as to rationalise the previous disparities between transaction amounts and charges levied. With the new tariffs, you now have the choice to select from more bands when you want to send money via M-PESA.
