The new Mpesa application-all you need to know
The new Mpesa application is a mobile banking application that allows you to track and make money transfers and payments easily.
What's popping? The new Mpesa App powered by Safaricom PLC! Are you using the app? If not, drop what you are doing, login to your play or app store, and download it to experience change.
Let's dig in for a better grasp of what the MpesaA application is all about in this article as follows;
Did you know you can build your own MPESA via USSD?
The new Mpesa app has partnered together with other mobile banking services such as NHIF, E-Zawadi, madaraka express, and NSSF mobile among many others services. Their main aim is to assist their customers to have a cashless operation with the services and still pay through the application registered numbers.
Customers registered to the application have access to different services, such as depositing and withdrawing money from their accounts. They can do all these actions by entering their PINs, and immediately they will receive notifications on their selected actions to be made.
Through the Lipa Na Mpesa, one can pay for services that need to be paid for. Sometimes adulting can be very challenging given that you have to pay more and more for maintenance until you have none left, but with the MPESA app, you can also borrow loans through Mshwari and KCB mpesa while on the app.
Not only does Mpesa app show you the balance, but if you have subscribed to Fuliza by Safaricom, you can be sure to see what remaining amount you have in your account. Isn't that amazing? Imagine all your needs, money transaction, and balances being met under one system.
The answer to this question is very safe. You can make a transaction to the wrong account and get asked to confirm whether you want to proceed before inputting your PIN. As long as you have the application, you are at no risk of being robbed off your money on the account, provided you haven't shared your PIN with other people. As the saying goes," PIN Yako Siri Yako." Don't share it for security purposes.
