New Netflix using M-Pesa in Kenya

To pay for Netflix using M-Pesa in Kenya, you’ll need to use the M-Pesa GlobalPay virtual card

This involves generating a virtual card within the M-Pesa app and then using the card details (number, expiry, and CVV) to make the payment on the Netflix website. 

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Open the M-Pesa App: Launch the M-Pesa app on your smartphone.
  2. Navigate to Grow: Find and select the “Grow” section, usually located at the bottom of the screen. 
  3. Select Global Pay: Choose the “Global Pay app” option. 
  4. Generate Virtual Card: Log in to the Global Pay app using your M-Pesa PIN or biometrics. Then, follow the prompts to generate a virtual Visa card. 
  5. View Card Details: You’ll need to log in again to reveal the card details (number, expiry date, and CVV). The CVV is usually valid for a limited time (e.g., 30 minutes). 
  6. Go to Netflix Payment: On the Netflix website, navigate to the “Account” section, then to “Manage Payment Methods”. 
  7. Add Payment Method: Select “Add Payment Method” and choose the option to add a credit/debit card. 
  8. Enter Card Details: Input the card number, expiry date, CVV, and cardholder name (your name) from the virtual card. 
  9. Confirm Payment: Complete the payment process on the Netflix website, and you should receive confirmation from both Safaricom and Netflix. 
  10. Start Watching: You can now log in to Netflix and start enjoying your shows.
