There are no subscription charges,on boarding charges or paybill hosting charges.  

We charge transaction fees for all the transactions  (both inbound and outbound payments).  

At the moment, the charges are: 

In Kenya, 

KES 1 if the transaction amount > KES 100
KES 1% of transaction if the transaction amount < KES 100
(these are over and above Mpesa charges)

In Uganda, 

Collections -  3% per transaction (on MTN)
Disbursements - UGX 640 per transaction (on MTN)
                             UGX 900  per transaction (on Airtel)

In Nigeria, 

Collections  -  1.4% of transaction value + NGN 50

Disbursements  -  N50
