Person-to-person reversals

Safaricom has made it easier to reverse money sent to the wrong person. This service was rolled out late 2017. A customer who sends money to the wrong person is required to send the transaction code to 456. The cash transfer is then suspended and customer care representatives from Safaricom then confirm with the sender and the receiver whether the transaction was done in error before taking the action necessary.
