This is a step by step guide on how to withdraw money from PayPal to Mpesa. PayPal is a worldwide online payment system that supports online money transfers. It is a global leader in online payment solutions, with more than 325 million accounts worldwide.
In the past, withdrawing money from PayPal used to be a hard experience for most Kenyans as it only involved bank transfers. The process is now easier and faster following the partnership between PayPal and Safaricom, where customers can comfortably withdraw funds directly to their Mpesa accounts.
One qualifies for the PayPal-Mpesa service as long as he/she has an eligible Kenyan PayPal and Mpesa account. Withdrawals take 2 hours to 3 days to be processed, depending on the value of the transaction made.
