ICYMI: @SafaricomPLC has introduced an approval feature for M-Pesa cash reversals, heeding to a cry by many customers hit by fraudulent cancellation of transactions before they are concluded. - @NationAfrica
In the new feature, a cancellation of an M-Pesa payment transaction is promptly followed by an automated call from @SafaricomPLC to the affected customer with a request to approve or decline the action as the cash is held by the service provider.
Approval of a reversal transaction means the funds are released back to the sender while in the event of a rejected reversal transaction, both the sender and recipient are required to prove their cases.
