Why do you need to register your Mpesa Sim Card In Kenya?
The Kenyan Law requires every Sim Card to be registered before the mobile network provider uses it.
Hence why Safaricom has all of its Sim Cards recorded before a customer starts to use the Sim Card.
By registering your Safaricom Sim Card, you can access all the services provided by the company, including M-Pesa.
Why do you need to change the details on your M-Pesa account?
If you have your Sim Card registered under someone else’s details, it is illegal to use those details to access M-Pesa services.
Furthermore, no registered M-Pesa agent will allow you to withdraw money from the account without the original National Identification Card.
To remove any amount, you must have a valid Identification Card with you that matches the details in your Mpesa account and your picture.
If it happens to be that you registered your Sim Card with your Id details, but they end up bearing another person’s name, these steps will help you.
If you used your parent’s/guardians Id to register your sim card, you are advised to use your Id once you acquire one and change the details to reflect the actual user.
To change the Sim Card details, you are advised to visit Safaricom’s customer care desk widely spread across the country, with the developing efforts to ensure a maximum number of customer care desks.
