How Much Commission Do M-Pesa Agents Earn Per Transaction? All You Need To Know

For anyone planning to open an M-Pesa agent shop, it is important to get to know the profit you are likely to get in your business. M-Pesa agents are paid on a commission basis meaning the more the transaction you make as an agent, the more you earn. In this list we look at the commission for M-pesa agents on both M-Pesa deposits and withdrawals.

Following the M-Pesa traffic review, Safaricom introduced lower band of Ksh. 10 – Ksh. 49. The other transaction charges for various categories were also reviewed. As a result, deposit commissions have increased by 12% – 170% across the bands as seen in the table below.

The lowest commission an M-Pesa agent can earn as of 2020 on a single deposit per transaction is Ksh.4 while the lowest commission per withdrawal is Ksh. 5

Starting an M-Pesa Agent shop is one of the best ideas owing to the large number of M-Pesa transactions carried out every day.
