Cross-Network Mobile Money Transfer Cost Guide
Sending money across network providers—specifically from Safaricom M-Pesa to Airtel Money or Telkom T-Kash—is subject to standard cross-network transfer charges. Keeping track of these rates is essential to avoid high payment overheads.
Tips for Direct Cross-Network Transfers:
- Send Direct to Airtel Money Wallet: Select 'Send to Other Network' on your M-Pesa SIM menu or app. This delivers funds straight to the recipient's mobile wallet at lower rates than sending to an unregistered customer.
- Use Paybill Integration: Many utility providers now utilize unified Till numbers, allowing you to pay directly from your active wallet across networks.
