After that MPESA reversal time limit, the only realistic way to get your money back is to contact customer service and request that they assist you in reversing it.

So, at the time you realize you made a mistake with your Mpesa transaction, simply dial 100 (for prepaid customers) or 200 (for postpaid customers) at no cost, follow the instructions on the other end of the line, and wait for a Customer Care representative to assist you.

After providing the necessary information, you will receive an SMS initiating the reversal.

Additionally, you can also call 234 and follow the prompts, providing the necessary information.

However, before calling Safaricom Customer Care, it is best to send the MPESA transaction message to 456.

You can also contact Safaricom through the following platforms, though their response time may be longer.
