Mpesa till reversal

Reversing money sent to the wrong till number is a difficult task for Safaricom users.

1. When you realize you’ve sent money to the wrong till number, call Safaricom Mpesa customer service at 100 or 234 and request an Mpesa reversal.
2. Safaricom customer service will hold the money in the till not to be used, then call the merchant in charge of the till number to confirm whether they received the money and whether or not they provided you with a service.
3. The merchant will then be asked whether or not they will accept the reversal. If they accept the reversal, your money will be returned to your Mpesa account within 72 hours. If the till number owner refuses to initiate a reversal, Safaricom will advise you to file a police report.

Regardless of how effective the reversal service is, it is important to always verify till numbers before making transactions to avoid losing money by sending to the wrong till numbers.
