    Safaricom Kenya adjusted their Mpesa services rates and tariffs to align with the economic impact towards Kenyans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The maximum account balance is now Ksh. 300,000 up from Ksh. 100,000. You can transact up to Ksh. 300,000 in a single day, with a maximum of Ksh. 150,000 per transaction.

    However, as the tax Covid reliefs come to an end, Safaricom made a small adjustment to their Mpesa money transfer rates with effect from January 1st, 2021.
