FAQs

How can we assist you?

Need more information about Kopo Kopo? We have put together a list of the most commonly asked questions so you can have a great experience using our services.

Contact us
    Getting Started
    What is the application process and how long does it take to get a till number?

    After you provide us with your business information which we send to Safaricom for application processing, this process should take at least 72hours.

    What additional benefits come with a Kopo Kopo till?

    A Kopo Kopo account provides:

    • Greater visibility into how your business is performing
    • Security by virtue of cashless payments
    • Quick cash advances
    • A communication channel to customers regarding your business
    • A means to make convenient business payments
    I have multiple locations, do I need an account for each branch?

    In the case of multiple locations for the same company, you will have one account with multiple till numbers. That is, a till number for each location.

    During the application process, you will only be required to fill one application form. It is in this same application form that you will provide information on the various locations in order to receive different tills for each of your locations.

    Later, on the web application, transactions to this account can be filtered by till and you will therefore be able to assess each location’s data separately.

    Lipa na M-Pesa
    What documents should I provide to obtain a Lipa Na M-Pesa till number?

    The documents we require are determined by the nature of your business. View the requirements here

    How much will this service cost?

    Processing your application and getting a till number assigned is completely free.

    Our charges are primarily made on transactions:

    • No charges are made on transactions between charges KSh. 1 – 200
    • A 0.5% charge is made on transactions between KSh. 201 and 40,000
    • KSh. 200 is charged on transactions above KSh. 40,001
    Please note that:
    • Your bank may charge for a settlement transfer depending on the account you have.
    • You will need a basic phone to host the SIM card that operates the till.
    Can I use the same phone to manage multiple tills?

    Each till is allocated a SIM card that receives customer payment notifications, therefore, you will require a phone for every till.

    Settlement
    How do I access my funds (how do I get paid)?

     You can transfer your funds to a bank account or M-Pesa number via the Web application, Android application or USSD.

    Web or Android: Simply log in and initiate a transfer.

    USSD: dial *681# select 1. Manage Account > 3. Settle

    Can I request a partial settlement?

    Yes, you can initiate a partial transfer on the Web application, the Android app and on USSD.

    Reversals
    How secure is this? Can't customers reverse transactions?

    A Kopo Kopo agent will call you for confirmation before a reversal is done, therefore customers cannot reverse transactions from the till without your approval.

    For this reason, it is safer receiving payments on your till as this is a feature that is not available when funds are received on a personal M-Pesa account.

    How do I reverse a wrong payment or double payment?

    This can be done using our web application, Android app or USSD by going to the transactions menu and initiating a reversal.

    You may also give us a call on +254 702 000 222 or Whatsapp +254 114 440 067 if you experience difficulty accessing your account.

    Will I be charged for the reversal?

    No, you will not be charged for the reversal because the amount reversed equals the amount received.
