The M-Pesa Global Pay Visa Virtual card will allow users to securely pay 100 million foreign merchants like Amazon and Alibaba from their mobile phones, without the need for credit cards or accounts with processors such as PayPal.

How to use the M-Pesa VISA virtual card to make payments:

Well, like any other VISA card, when you’re making a payment online, you will choose the card option and enter your card number, and expiry date. You will then go to the M-Pesa app and check the always-changing three-digit CVV to complete the transaction.

M-PESA GlobalPay Faqs

This is a VISA virtual card that is linked to your M-PESA wallet. The M-PESA GlobalPay virtual VISA card enables you to make payments to International online merchants for goods and services using your card details.

•The card includes a 16-digit card number, expiry date (mm/yy) of the card and the security code also referred to as CVV.

On M-PESA USSD (*334#):

• Dial *334#

• Select Lipa na M-PESA (Option 6)

• Select M-PESA GlobalPay (Option 5)

On M-PESA APP:

• Log in to your M-PESA APP.

• Select Pay tab

• Select M-PESA GlobalPay OR

• Select the Grow Tab.

• Select the application tab, to activate your M-PESA GlobalPay.

• Select your card color.

• You will receive your card details.

It completely takes out the need to have a bank account to have a card, and therefore make global payments.

M-PESA customer limits will apply i.e. minimum amount of Ksh 110 and a maximum of Ksh 150,000 per transaction with a maximum transaction limit of Ksh 300,000. The minimum amount will change based on the prevailing USD – KES rate.

You will not be charged to make payments for online purchase however prevailing forex rates apply i.e. Transaction cost is zero. Safaricom however applies a Forex Exchange markup of 3.5% on the prevailing forex rate to exchange from billing currency (Ksh) to the currency at the time of purchase i.e. (USD,GBP etc.) For a transaction initiated by a local merchant, the M-PESA Customer will receive an appropriate message on the checkout option.

No, you can pay using M-PESA GlobalPay to international online merchants such as Netflix, Amazon, AliExpress etc. For local merchants e.g. Jumia, customers will use the Lipa na M-PESA, Buy Goods option. For a transaction initiated by a local merchant, the M-PESA Customer will receive an appropriate message on the checkout option.

Fuliza will not be available for M-PESA GlobalPay Payments.

This is a security feature that enables merchant sites to ensure you are the real owner of the card to reduce fraudulent activities on your card.

• A CVV is generated by the customer during the payment process, to verify the payment.

• All CVV generated will only be valid for 30 minutes. This will prevent anyone who has your card details from using your card because they may have to generate another CVV.

This is a type of SMS that appears directly on your main screen and is not automatically stored in the message inbox. The M-PESA GlobalPay service utilizes Flash SMS messaging in order to further secure the VISA Credentials.

A repeat payment permits a merchant to debit your M-PESA wallet for regularly occurring payments e.g. subscription services such as NETFLIX.

• Repeat payments need customer authorization (shown in the How-To description below, Part IX))

• Raise a dispute process (shown in the How-To description below, XIII)

Should you fail to reach an amicable agreement with the Participating Retailer, you may contact Customer Care or visit our retail shops or access the dispute resolution form that is published on the Safaricom Website in order to lodge a dispute. On receipt of a duly lodged dispute form, we will contact Visa for resolution. The expected time period for resolution of a dispute depends on the dispute as will be determined by Safaricom and Visa, if the dispute is as a result of transaction authorization error, Safaricom will resolve the dispute within 72 hrs, If the dispute is between you and the Participating Retailer, the maximum resolution time is forty-five (45) working days.
