Safaricom has increased M-PESA transaction limits to KES 250,000 for each transaction, the company announced Thursday.

The move adds a new KES 151,000 to KES 250,000 transaction band for services including Send Money, Lipa Na M-PESA merchant payments, PayBill bill payments and other transactions done through the mobile money platform.

“We welcome the move by the Central Bank of Kenya to increase M-PESA transaction limits to 250,000 shillings,” said Peter Ndegwa, CEO of Safaricom. “The increased transaction limits are a timely intervention as they will provide customers and businesses with additional convenience when doing business, empowering them to do more from their phones.”

The Central Bank of Kenya approved the increase, which comes after it also approved raising daily limits and overall M-PESA limits to 500,000 shillings per day.

The current maximum transaction fees will apply to the new bands, including KES 108 per Send Money transaction.

M-PESA, which launched in Kenya in 2007, has evolved from a basic mobile money transfer service into a platform that offers loans, savings, insurance and more to over 30 million customers across Africa. The increases to transaction limits aim to allow businesses and merchants to leverage M-PESA for more services.
