How do I check if M-Pesa is down?

Visit the M-Pesa page on WebsiteDown for a server-side HTTP probe of m-pesa.com. We also scan social media, news, and status pages for outage signals.

How long do M-Pesa outages usually last?

Most M-Pesa outages resolve within minutes to a few hours. Extended outages are rare for major services. Check our incident history for past resolution times.

Why can't I access M-Pesa?

If M-Pesa appears up in our check but you can't reach it, try: clearing browser cache, flushing DNS (ipconfig /flushdns or sudo dscacheutil -flushcache), switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or disabling your VPN.

Are my transactions safe during a M-Pesa outage?

Pending transactions are typically queued and processed once the service recovers. Avoid initiating new transactions during a confirmed outage to prevent duplicate charges.

Can I still access my M-Pesa account balance?

During partial outages, read-only features like balance checks may still work even if transfers or payments are affected. Try the mobile app if the website is down.
