The service is provided by Thunes in partnership with Safaricom and PayPal. This is a money transfer service for joint PayPal and M-PESA customers that enables customers to move funds between their own M-PESA accounts and PayPal accounts.

With PayPal, customers can top up and withdraw funds in US-Dollars (USD) only; customer can manage their M-PESA account in Kenya shillings only.

If a customer has multiple currencies in the PayPal account, they will need to convert the funds into US-Dollars if they wish to withdraw the PayPal balance to the M-PESA account. To convert the funds, go to the "Manage Currencies" section in the PayPal account.

This service is only offered to users in Kenya with registered M-PESA accounts, Google (PayPal) accounts, and Android devices.
