How to Manage Multiple M-PESA Till Numbers

Some businesses use more than one M-PESA till, phone number or payment account. This can be useful, but it can also create confusion if records are not organised.

Name each account clearly

Use clear names for each M-PESA account, such as main till, delivery phone, branch account or owner account.

Record where each payment went

When recording a sale, note which M-PESA account received the money. This prevents confusion when reconciling balances.

Track transfers between accounts

If money moves from one M-PESA account to another, record it as a transfer, not as a new sale.

Review each account separately

Each till or phone number should have its own opening balance, activity and closing balance.

Clear separation makes reporting easier and reduces the risk of missing money.
