We pleased to present to you the new reduced mpesa transaction charges set by the Safaricom telecommunication for 2021.
As part of different measures to help the country better weather the global Pandemic, Safaricom announced the temporary zero-rating of M-PESA transactions in March.
The regulator, the Central Bank of Kenya under the leadership of Dr. Patrick Njoroge has been instrumental in the formulation of this and other measures across the financial sector which have resulted in significant gains in the form of the ongoing economic recovery.
As guided by the Central Bank of Kenya and taking into account the Principles on the Pricing of Mobile Money Services, the Safaricom have taken the decision to reduce their M-PESA tariffs by up to 45% for lower value transaction bands. This is in consideration of the expiry of the period for the zero-rated M-PESA transactions and the ongoing pandemic and economic circumstances.
These tariff reductions will affect more than 90 percent of all customer transactions when sending money. It will now cost KES 6 to send between KES 101 and KES 500, down from KES 11. Transactions of between KES 1,501 and KES 2,500 will cost KES 32 down from KES 41.
All transactions of KES 100 and below will remain free. In addition, all M-PESA customers will continue to enjoy free transactions between M-PESA and bank accounts.
The price cuts are permanent, effective January 2023 and will enable our more than 26.8 million customers to continue enjoying lower costs whenever they send money.
The new, reduced tariffs will equally apply to transactions for micro-Businesses under our new Pochi La Biashara service, and for Lipa Na M-PESA businesses using the Transacting Till to make payments.
