How to Get Your MPESA Statement

As an MPESA user, there are various ways that you can keep track of your expenditure. One such way is through your MPESA statement. In this guide, you will learn how to get your MPESA statement from Safaricom.

MPESA Statements

An MPESA statement is a record that shows the transactions you have made within a certain period. There are two types of MPESA statements: a full statement and a mini statement.

A full statement allows you to view your transactions for a given period. This could be quarterly, biannually, or yearly. Moreover, if you need to get your MPESA statement for over a year, you can do this by visiting any Safaricom shop near you.

A full statement is always sent in PDF format. In order for you to view it, you ought to have a PDF reader installed in your phone or PC machine. In addition, you will also need to input the original identification document number you registered your MPESA line with as the document is password protected. This could be your national ID, military ID, diplomatic ID, alien ID, or passport number.

A mini statement, on the other hand, enables you to view the last five transactions that you made. This is usually sent as an SMS to your registered MPESA number.
