Safaricom Introduces Lipa Kodi na M-PESA Service

Safaricom  has introduced a new rent collection and payment service dubbed Lipa Kodi na M-PESA. Under the new scheme, customers will pay Kshs.6 for transactions of upto to Kshs. 5,000 while those paying between Kshs.50, 000 and Kshs.70, 000 will be charged a transaction fee valued at Kshs. 220.

Lipa Kodi (Kiswahili for Pay your Rent) is designed to offer convenience and cost efficiency to tenants, landlords and housing agents by providing them with a safe and reliable rent payment and collection mode.
