M-PESA Go is a service by Safaricom that makes it possible for children between 10 and 17 years to use some M-Pesa services. In Kenya, M-Pesa payment services can only be accessed by persons who are 18 years and above (with National ID). M-Pesa go seeks to address the problem.
Parents can visit any Safaricom shop with the birth certificate of their children to register them or register online using M-pesa Go online onboarding portal. A parent will be required to have a Mpesa-registered account.
Services available under M-Pesa go include;
- Send and receive money via mpesa
- Buy airtime
- Lipa na Mpesa
