It's a two-way process: you transfer airtime to our number, then we send M-Pesa cash back to yours. Here's exactly what happens.

  1. 1

    Enter your amount and number

    Use the calculator to see your exact M-Pesa payout, then add the M-Pesa number where you want the cash sent.

  2. 2

    Send your airtime

    Confirm the details and dial the prepared Safaricom airtime-transfer (Sambaza) code. This moves your airtime to our verified receiving line. This step is irreversible, so check the amount before you dial.

  3. 3

    Once we receive your airtime, our team sends the M-Pesa payout to your number — typically within 2 minutes. You'll get the standard M-Pesa confirmation SMS from Safaricom.

Beginner's guide

How to convert airtime to M-Pesa in Kenya

First time? This short guide walks you through everything in plain language so you feel confident before you start.

What "airtime conversion" actually means

Airtime conversion means exchanging Safaricom airtime you don't need for M-Pesa cash. You can't move airtime straight into M-Pesa yourself — Safaricom keeps them separate. A conversion service like JUVANTA bridges the gap: you transfer the airtime to us using Safaricom's standard airtime-transfer feature, and in return we send you M-Pesa cash at the agreed rate.

Who can use this service

  • Anyone with a registered Safaricom line in their own name.
  • People with extra airtime from a bundle, promotion, or bonus they won't use.
  • Anyone who needs cash in M-Pesa rather than airtime on their line.

What you need before you start

  • A Safaricom line with at least KSh 200 in airtime.
  • Your airtime-transfer PIN set up (dial *100*[PIN]# to set one if you haven't — the Safaricom default is often 0000).
  • The M-Pesa number where you want to receive your cash.

Step-by-step

  1. 1. Enter your airtime amount in the calculator and check your M-Pesa payout.
  2. 2. Add your M-Pesa number and tap Review & continue.
  3. 3. Confirm the amounts on the review screen.
  4. 4. Tap Confirm & dial. The airtime-transfer code opens in your dialer.
  5. 5. Press the CALL key and enter your transfer PIN if prompted.
  6. 6. Wait for your M-Pesa payout SMS — typically within 2 minutes.

Fees & charges

The 82% rate is all-inclusive — there's no separate fee. For KSh 100 airtime you receive KSh 82. [Confirm current rate & any limits here.]

Processing time

Most payouts complete within 2 minutes of your airtime being received. Busy periods may take a little longer.

Stay safe

Only ever use the receiving number shown on this site. Never share your M-Pesa PIN with anyone — We will never ask for it.

Trust & safety

How we keep your conversion safe

Sending money online deserves caution — and we'd rather you be careful than caught out. Here's how we protect you, and how to protect yourself, so a genuine service stays easy to tell apart from a scam.

  • One official receiving number. It's shown on this page and in the dialer. If anyone gives you a different number, stop and contact support.
  • We never ask for your M-Pesa PIN or any password. No legitimate service ever needs it.
  • You confirm before you send. The review screen shows the exact amounts so nothing happens by surprise.
  • Real support, named business. Reach us by WhatsApp or phone, and verify our BRS registration before you transact.

If your payout is delayed

Wait a few minutes — Safaricom's network can be slow at peak times. If you don't see your M-Pesa SMS within 2 minutes, message us on WhatsApp with your phone number and the airtime amount you sent. Keep your transfer confirmation SMS as proof.

If a transaction fails

If the airtime transfer itself didn't go through, nothing left your line and you can simply try again. If airtime was sent but something looks wrong, contact support right away with your details so we can check and resolve it.
