M-Pesa Kadogo

Safaricom Kenya has made a small change in their M-Pesa tariffs. The mobile network operator has introduced M-PESA Kadogo. These are new rates for specific Mpesa transactions. The new Mpesa withdrawal charges will affect transactions that are up to and below Ksh 100.

This is because Safaricom Kenya will not charge them anything when receiving payments for M-Pesa transactions of up to Ksh 100. The new tariffs will also make paying bills cheaper. This includes KPLC bills and DSTV Kenya. Other bills mostly paid through M-Pesa include GOTV and StarTimes bills.

They keep adding new features and now with the new Mwangaza App, M-Pesa will soon become your daily bread

  1. Great article and very informative. I had lost my way when I saw the title Mpesa kadogo but after reading I understood. Plus I think Safaricom has removed the free rate for sending Ksh.1-1000.Safaricom had said that new rates were coming in January 1st 2021.That’s why I think the zero cost for Ksh.1-1000 is now over.
