UPDATED: What All Banks Charge to transfer Cash from Banks to M-Pesa Today EXCLUSIVE 1
Steve Oke Chapchap Market 320243 No Comments
Starting January 2023, Kenyan Banks are charging customers a fee (plus excise duty of 20%) when moving funds from their bank to M-Pesa and Airtel Money mobile money wallets.
Mobile Money wallets will also charge fees when moving cash from the wallets to bank accounts.
That means the zero-rated transfer of cash we’ve enjoyed is going away. 2023 is gearing to be an expensive year.
It seems different banks will charge different fees. We’d expected a standard fee, but from the different tweets and social media posts we are seeing, that will not be the case.
It’s also not clear whether or not the different rates we’ve seen announced include the 20% excise fee (or if the excise fee is charged on the amount you actually transact, making it vary with each transaction).
We already covered the transaction charges you can expect from NCBA Bank here. In this article we are going to try and compile every single bank who’ve shared their costs.
Let’s go:

Nbk my bae.
Hi. Yes, Coop has been charging as all through for sending Money from Bank to Mpesa. But I have just discovered they are also charging us to Deposit money to the Coop Bank Accounts. 8k they charge 46bob, 22k charging 65 bob…. Please let me know the banks that are not charging to deposit money using Paybill to the Bank Account
Thanks for the update atleast we’ve known which bank to save.
(This government)???
We were used to make free transactions but all in all we have to change with season
how did I do
What of from mobile money to bank charges
Thank you for the update.
Atleast we have known which bank saves your pocket thus good in saving.
Mpesa almost halved their cost – but that’s dependent on your Mobile Carrier, not the bank.
Nice information.It would be great to have a conclusion of which bank is thus a better bet to save some bucks if someone wants to synthesize all the information written.
