Why WePesa
Safer than P2P groups, faster than generic exchanges.
Not another Telegram group
Kenyan gift-card Telegram groups are riddled with 'send the code first, I'll pay after' scams. WePesa is a licensed counterparty — the code goes into escrow, not to a stranger.
M-Pesa name-match before payout
We check the M-Pesa name against your account so a mistyped digit doesn't send your money to a stranger's line.
Weekend payouts
Amazon runs 24/7 and so do we. Cards uploaded on Sunday night pay out at Sunday-night speed.
Support in Swahili & English
Nairobi-based agents. WhatsApp and email. If a trade stalls, one person owns your case end-to-end.
FAQ
Everything sellers ask before their first cash-out.
What Amazon regions do you accept in Kenya?+
US, UK, CA, DE, and JP Amazon cards. The quote screen shows a slightly different KES rate per region.
How high is my M-Pesa limit?+
M-Pesa's own daily limit is KES 500,000 with KES 250,000 per single transaction. For larger cash-outs we split into multiple deposits or route to your bank via PesaLink.
Do I need ID?+
First trade under KES 20,000: no ID. Above that, a photo of your national ID unlocks higher limits, same-day. Full KYC unlocks the Hub for professional traders.
What if the M-Pesa STK never arrives?+
It's Safaricom, so 99% of the time it does. If it doesn't within 5 minutes, WhatsApp our support line — we can trigger a manual reversal + retry.
Is this legal in Kenya?+
Yes. Gift-card resale is legal in Kenya; WePesa operates within CBK guidance for money-remittance partners and reports as required.
