M-pesa is a swahili word meaning Mobile money. In the recent years, customers of M-pesa outlets services have been experiencing service delays, and poor treatment from the outlets agents who are said to be rude to them. This has resulted to some of the M-pesa clients migrating from Safaricom M-pesa service to other telecommunication service providers. The purpose of the study to determine customers’ perception and satisfaction in the utilization of the money transfer service of the M-Pesa service by Safaricom Limited.
