Two entries on this table are confirmed against the company’s own published page. The rest are marked not checked, and that is deliberate. We would rather tell you we do not know than tell you something that turns out to be wrong at the checkout.
How to read this
Why Kenya gets less than its neighbours
On Apple’s own page, Nigeria and Tanzania can add funds to an Apple Account balance. South Africa gets carrier billing through MTN, Telkom and Vodacom. Kenya gets one line: most credit and debit cards. In the country that invented mobile money, the iPhone is the device that cannot use it.
Where this comes from
Two primary sources carry this page. Safaricom’s own Google Play and M-PESA FAQ documents M-PESA Xpress billing, and Apple’s own payment methods page for Kenya lists what an Apple Account can use here. Both were read on 29 September 2026. We publish no reseller number on any page in this cluster, and we explain why on the gift cards page.

Frequently asked
Does Steam take M-PESA in Kenya?
We have not checked, so we will not tell you either way. Check Steam’s own checkout before relying on it.
Why does the table say "not checked" instead of "no"?
Because "probably not" is not a fact. We only publish what we have read on the company’s own page.
Which store definitely works with M-PESA?
Google Play, on an Android device, using M-PESA Xpress billing. Safaricom documents it themselves.
