How to Pay Netflix Via Mpesa Global Pay

Netflix is one of the best international streaming services with a large library of international TV shows, movies, animations and documentaries for the whole family. In Kenya, Netflix only receives payments through VISA or Debit cards. However, through MPesa GlobalPay, you can now pay for Netflix subscription packages through your linked MPesa account.

MPesa GlobalPay is a service that enables you to generate a virtual VISA card and link it directly to your MPesa wallet. You can use this virtual VISA card to pay for international goods and services normally as if you were using a physical VISA card.

This means you can pay for your Netflix without physical credit or debit cards.

The virtual card has a 16-digit card number, expiry date (mm/yy) of the card and the security code (CVV).
