MPESA TO SHUT DOWN IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS

M-Pesa services will be unavailable on November 6 at 2359hrs to Sunday 0400hrs.

During the maintenance, all M-Pesa services including airtime purchase shall be temporarily unavailable.

In a statement on Twitter on Friday, Safaricom said they are constantly investing and innovating the platform to ensure they continue to meet the needs of customers.

“… as well as continue to support our partners in their business ambitions. The timing of this maintenance activity has been planned to result in the least of inconvenience to our customers,” Safaricom said.

“We apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused and thank you for your continue support”.

Safaricom’s M-Pesa platform is transforming into a giant one stop financial provider, set to disrupt the traditional brick and mortar banking and financial services.

It is also securing its future operations without solely relying on Safaricom customers but instead opening its services to other platforms and telcos.

With more than 22.6 million active customers locally, M-Pesa has continued to be transformed to be a platform where you can access insurance, pension, booking services among others.
