Transferring money to loved ones in Kenya from Tanzania has never been easier with Halotel’s HaloPesa mobile money services. This guide will help you navigate the process smoothly and efficiently.

Before You Begin

  • Eligibility: Both you (the sender) and the recipient in Kenya need active mobile money accounts. In Kenya, M-Pesa is the most commonly used service.
  • Check Your Balance: Ensure you have enough funds in your Halotel mobile money account to cover the transfer amount and any applicable fees.

Initiating the Transfer

Halotel offers two main ways to send money from Tanzania to Kenya:

Method 1: Using the HaloPesa USSD Code

  1. Dial the USSD Code: On your Halotel line, dial 15088# to access the HaloPesa menu.
  2. Select “Send Money”: From the menu options, look for “Send Money” or a similar option and follow the prompts.
  3. Choose “Send to Other Networks”: Since you’re sending money to a different network (e.g., M-Pesa in Kenya), select the option for sending to other networks.
  4. Enter Recipient’s Mobile Number: Input the recipient’s Kenyan mobile number associated with their M-Pesa account. Double-check the number for accuracy.
  5. Enter Transfer Amount: Specify the amount you want to send to your recipient in Kenya.
  6. Confirm and Send: Review all the transaction details on your screen, including the recipient’s number, the transfer amount, and any fees. If everything is correct, confirm the transaction to complete the transfer.

Method 2: Using the HaloPesa App (if available)

  1. Download and Install: If available, download the HaloPesa app from your app store.
  2. Login: Open the app and log in with your Halotel mobile money account credentials.
  3. Send Money: Look for the “Send Money” or “Transfer” option within the app.
  4. Select “International Transfer”: Choose the international transfer option since you’re sending money to Kenya.
  5. Enter Recipient Details: Input the recipient’s Kenyan mobile phone number and select the mobile money provider (likely M-Pesa).
  6. Specify Amount and Confirm: Enter the amount, review all transaction details, and confirm the transfer if everything is correct.

Confirmation and Follow-Up

  • Confirmation Message: Once the transfer is successful, you will receive a confirmation SMS from Halotel indicating that the funds have been sent.
  • Notify the Recipient: Inform your recipient in Kenya of the incoming transfer. They will also receive a notification from their mobile money provider (e.g., M-Pesa) once the funds are credited.

Additional Information

  • Transaction Fees: Be aware of any applicable fees for international transfers. Fees may be charged by both Halotel and the recipient’s mobile money provider in Kenya.
  • Exchange Rates: The transfer will use the current exchange rate. Check the prevailing rate to understand the final amount your recipient will receive.

By following these steps and keeping these tips in mind, you can easily use Halotel’s HaloPesa service to send money from Tanzania to Kenya. This reliable method ensures your funds reach the intended recipient quickly and securely.
