Safaricom has already taken numerous steps in ensuring cases of sending money to the wrong number are minimal, mostrly thanks to the Hakikisha service that brings up the name of the customer you’re about to send funds to, before the funds are sent, and also giving the provision to cancel the transaction should the name not match with whoever you’re trying to send funds to. There’s also an easy way to reverse the transaction, sending the transaction code to 234, or calling the M-PESA dedicated customer service centre for immediate help.
