About M-Pesa

M-Pesa is a mobile-money service used in Kenya for person-to-person transfers, merchant payments, and bills. Customers can use a local phone number and confirm through USSD, SMS, or the M-Pesa app, so a smartphone is not always required.

Current route costs

The app shows the details and any charge for a supported transaction before you confirm. Withdrawal charges vary by network, and the wallet or service you send from may charge its own fee.
