How to create Mpesa VISA Card – Detailed Guide

This Card cannot be a credit card or a charge card; nor is it a debit card linked to a current M-Pesa account; it is a virtual card generated via an M-Pesa channel (i.e. STK or USSD or App) by an M-Pesa User, meaning that money, must be top up onto the Card at the time of creation or purchase.

The card includes a 16-digit card number, the card’s expiry date (mm/yy), and the security code also referred to as CVV.

 

What is a CVV? (Card Verification Value)

This is a security feature that enables merchant sites to ensure you are the real owner of the card to reduce fraudulent activities on your Mpesa VISA Card.

A CVV is generated by the customer during the payment process, to verify the payment.

All CVV generated will only be valid for 30 minutes. This will prevent anyone who has your card details from using your card because they may have to generate another CVV.
