Good News for All Kenyans with Safaricom Lines as Company Makes Major Announcement

M-Pesa customers now have an easier way to find out how much they will pay for transactions before sending or withdrawing money, following Safaricom’s introduction of a Cost Calculator on its MyOne App.

The new tool enables users to quickly check M-Pesa transaction and withdrawal charges, providing greater clarity on the costs involved before completing a transaction.

The development is expected to benefit millions of Kenyans who depend on M-Pesa for sending money, paying bills, making purchases and withdrawing cash, as they can now plan their transactions with a clearer understanding of the applicable fees.

The move comes as Safaricom implements revised M-Pesa tariffs covering services such as Pochi la Biashara, Lipa na M-Pesa Buy Goods and Business Till transfers.

The new tariff structure is being rolled out in phases beginning August 2026, with small businesses among those likely to experience the changes.

One of the notable adjustments is the reduction in Business Till transfer charges, with some fees falling by up to 50 percent. The reduction could provide relief to small traders who depend on M-Pesa to receive customer payments and manage business funds.

At the same time, the Cost Calculator is designed to help customers avoid unexpected charges by displaying the applicable fees before a transaction is completed. For frequent M-Pesa users, having this information in advance could make financial planning easier.

The changes have generated considerable discussion, particularly regarding the lower Business Till charges. Customers online have been debating whether the revised tariffs will translate into meaningful savings for everyday M-Pesa users.

While some users have welcomed the increased transparency and reduced charges, others remain uncertain about the actual financial benefits they will experience.

As attention shifts from the new Cost Calculator to the broader tariff adjustments, Safaricom’s latest changes are expected to remain a major topic of discussion as the new rates continue to take effect.

With M-Pesa playing a central role in Kenya’s daily financial activities, the impact of the revised charges is likely to attract continued public interest.

Do you think Safaricom’s new M-Pesa tariffs and Cost Calculator will make transactions cheaper and more convenient for Kenyans?
