M-PESA payments and statements

Payments received on a Paybill or Till, allocation and the masked statement export.

Open Finance › M-Pesa payments to see money received through M-PESA.

Payments received#

Payments are grouped by what they were for:

  • Wallet top-ups
  • Donations
  • Unallocated (paid to a connected account without a recognised account reference)

Each row shows the time, M-PESA receipt, amount, purpose, account reference and a masked payer. Payments appear within seconds of M-PESA's confirmation.

Statement export#

Users with export permission can choose a date range (blank means the last 31 days) and Download statement (CSV, masked). It includes payments received and approved expenses, with payer details masked.

Connected accounts#

The Connected accounts list shows the Paybill or Till numbers linked to your organisation. The Sauti team connects these with Safaricom Daraja; credentials go straight to a secure store and are never shown again.

Payment receipts by SMS#

When M-PESA supplies a usable payer phone, Sauti can send one transactional receipt SMS, checked against opt-outs first. If M-PESA supplies only a masked or hashed payer, the payer can claim an SMS receipt themselves on the receipt-claim page; otherwise no SMS is sent, and the PDF receipt still works.
