Hi,
That is why they tell you terms and conditions apply and you sign that you have read them including the cost of getting the balance, so what i usually do to get my balance i send a higher amount to somebody like 70k when i know i have around 5k so they will tell me you have this amt and you cannot send to this person this amt..

cheers

hi,

Is it that M-PESA charges KES 1.00 for every balance check? I just noted that my balance decreases by a bob every time I do a query.
Yes, M_Pesa and Zap charge one shilling for every balance check.
 
What if the balance is ZERO ?

With M-Pesa and Zap, the response will be an errror!
Methinks

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
