    Mpesa paybill service has made it easy for people to buy goods, deposit money into their bank accounts, and pay for utility bills right from the comfort of their mobile phones. However, to transact with Safaricom Mpesa paybill services, you will incur some charges depending on the amount of money you are transacting.

    Mpesa Pay Bill Tarrifs

    Safaricom has three business pay bill tariffs;



    • Mgao Tariff – Charges are split between the customer and business
    • Business Bouquet Tariff – No charges to the business; the customer bears all charges
    • Customer Bouquet Tariff – No charges to the customers; the business bears all
      charges.

    The customers have no control over these charges since the kind of tariff a business chooses has a direct effect on the customer. For example, if a business chooses the business bouquet tariff, all the charges will be transferred to the customer, hence more expensive pay bill charges.



    On the other hand, the customer bouquet tariff will relieve the customer of all transactional charges related to the Lipa na Mpesa paybill number.
