Telkom Kenya has announced new rates for T-Kash effective March 5th 2021. This follows a revision by the company on the rates that had been altered back in 2020 as a response to the Government of Kenya’s directive in a move to curb the spread of Coronavirus.
The company says that compared to their pre-pandemic tariffs, the T-kash tariffs within the “send to registered off-net” category, in the following three transaction bands have been reduced:
- KES. 101 – 500,
- KES. 501 – 1,000 and
- KES. 1,501 – 2,500 transaction bands.
| Band | Pre-Pandemic Tariffs | Effective 5th March 2021 (to registered users T-kash and other Networks) |
| 1 – 49 | Free | Free |
| 50 – 100 | Free | Free |
| 101 – 200 | KES. 5 | KES. 5 |
| 201 – 500 | KES. 10 | KES. 5 |
| 501 – 1,000 | KES. 15 | KES. 12 |
| 1,501 – 2,500 | KES. 35 | KES. 32 |
All Person-to-Person transactions below KES. 100 in the new mobile money tariffs will remain zero-rated.
The daily T-Kash limit per transaction will remain at KES. 150,000, with the daily sending limit being retained at KES. 300,000 with a wallet limit access of KES. 300, 000. Any transactions between KES. 50,000 up to KES. 300,000 will attract a rate of KES. 100. All other fees remain unchanged.
