Topping up your PayPal account using M-PESA is fast, easy, and convenient for Kenyan users who shop or transact online in USD. Whether you're paying for services, shopping globally, or sending money, here's how you can load your PayPal wallet using M-PESA.
Step 1: Calculate the KES Amount
Before initiating a top-up, first calculate the amount of Kenyan Shillings (KES) you need to convert into US Dollars (USD). Visit the official PayPal Mobile Money website or use a reliable currency converter to check the current exchange rate. Include transaction fees and always round up slightly to ensure your USD amount is covered.
Step 2: Go to Lipa na M-PESA
Open the M-PESA menu on your phone and follow these simple steps:
-
Select “Lipa na M-PESA”
-
Choose “Pay Bill”
-
Enter 800088 as the Business Number
-
For the Account Number, enter your phone number linked to your PayPal account (e.g., 07XXXXXXXX)
Step 3: Enter the Amount and Confirm
Enter the KES amount you calculated and proceed with your M-PESA PIN to confirm the transaction. You’ll receive confirmation messages from both M-PESA and PayPal after a successful transaction.
Bonus Tip:
Always ensure your PayPal and M-PESA accounts are properly linked through the official PayPal mobile money platform by Safaricom and TransferTo.
Topping up your PayPal account from M-PESA allows you to transact globally with ease. With just a few steps, you can access international services, shop online, or pay freelancers—right from your phone. Stay aware of exchange rates and fees to maximize your funds.
