2.1. Order Creation
2.1.1. Once you are registered as a Mukuru Customer, you place an order for a remittance
transaction using one of the many methods available to you (including WhatsApp and USSD)
and choose for the remittance to be disbursed to your recipient as groceries.
2.2. Remittance Transaction Processing and Delivery Schedule
2.2.1. After Mukuru Africa has verified your identity, completed a screening for proper compliance
with the various applicable laws and regulations, and received payment of the amount of the
remittance (which in the case of Mukuru Groceries, is inclusive of the Mukuru service fee)
from you, the groceries will be made available for collection by your designated recipient from
a designated Pay-Out Partner.
2.2.2. When your designated recipient arrives at the Pay-Out Partner, he or she will redeem his or
her Mukuru voucher and be handed the list of groceries assembled by the Pay-Out Partner.
2.2.3. Mukuru Africa will attempt to process all remittance transactions promptly but any remittance
transaction may be delayed or cancelled for a number of reasons, including, without limitation,
its efforts to verify your identity, compliance with applicable law or variations in business hours
and currency availability.

certain senders or to certain recipients including, without limitation, individuals on restricted or
prohibited lists.
2.2.5. Mukuru Africa cannot be held responsible for any delay in the receipt of the remittance by the
recipient – for example, if the Pay-Out Partner has insufficient quantities of the groceries for
distribution to your recipient and your recipient has to return to collect the groceries at a later
date.
2.3. Composition of list of Mukuru Groceries
2.3.1. The list of groceries which will be received by your nominated recipient will be as advertised

value.

2.4. Remittance Transaction Cancellations and Refunds
2.4.1. If you instruct Mukuru Africa to process a remittance transaction and then subsequently
request that the remittance transaction be stopped or reversed, Mukuru Africa will first need to
confirm whether the Pay-Out Partner has disbursed the remittance to the recipient before the
transaction can be stopped or reversed.

recipient, the remittance transaction will be cancelled and Mukuru Africa will refund

comply with applicable laws and regulations.
