It’s easy to make a mistake when sending money to someone. You might accidentally type in the wrong phone number, or you might send the money to the wrong account.
If you’ve sent money to the wrong Safaricom till number, don’t panic! There are a few things you can do to try to get your money back.
1. Contact the recipient
The first thing you should do is try to contact the person who received your money. Explain that you made a mistake and ask them to send the money back to you. If they’re cooperative, this is the easiest way to get your money back.
2. Request a reversal from Safaricom
If the recipient won’t send the money back, you can try to request a reversal from Safaricom. The process for doing this will vary depending on your method of contact, but you’ll usually need to provide the date, time, and amount of the transaction.
