Mukuru is a leading next generation Fintech business that gives the emerging consumer access to affordable and reliable financial services. Our foundation is built on international money transfers – helping you to move money into, out of, and around Africa. Whether you are sending cash for instant collection or topping up a bank account or mobile wallet, it has never been easier.
From this base we’ve grown to provide a broad range of services to answer all the financial needs of our customers.

What is a Mukuru order?
An order is the registered purchase of a product or service that you’ve created either online or telephonically.
Why am I asked for my customer number when I call?
Having your customer number close at hand allows our customer service staff to access your details quickly, making it easier for them to assist you further.
Can I use my friend’s Mukuru account?
Unfortunately not. To ensure our high standards of security are maintained, we will never allow anyone else to use someone else’s account. To help us maintain the highest security standards, please take a couple of minutes to establish your own Mukuru account.
How long will it take to sign up for a Mukuru account?
Our sign up process is easy provided you have the correct documentation, namely:
proof of ID, proof of income and proof of residency.
What is a Mukuru account?
A Mukuru account is a confidential account, which keeps track of both your orders and your recipients’ details. We continually update our systems and will never pass on your personal details to a third party.
As an online customer you can place orders, view and amend recipient details, and even replicate previous orders, all online, using your account.
If you prefer to transact over the telephone you will still have a Mukuru account, managed by one of our operators who will update the details of your orders as and when you wish to place them.
