You only need to upload your identification document onto our secure Web App. Please DO NOT email us your documents. Doing so may delay the processing of your transfer as you will be requested to upload your documents again onto our secure Web App.

Check that your payment details have been entered correctly. If all details are correct, please check why the payment has been declined with your payment provider. In some cases, you may need to approve the payment with your provider before returning to us to complete the transfer.

You can cancel a cash pick-up transaction if the recipient has not received it yet. Bank transfers and mobile wallet transfers are instant and cannot be cancelled. However, a transfer that has not been transmitted due to the wrong details entered, can be cancelled by sending a request to customerservice@upesi.co.ke or by calling at 0709 656 000.
