Benefits Of Using Mpesa To Deposit Into Equity Account
Using M-Pesa to fund your Equity account comes with several advantages.
Convenience
You don’t need to visit an ATM or bank branch. Whether it’s late at night, a weekend, or a public holiday, you can deposit money into your Equity account directly from your phone.

Things To Remember When Sending Money To Equity Account
Although the process is simple, a few checks can save you from costly mistakes.
Double-Check Account Numbers
Always confirm the Equity account number before sending money. A wrong digit can send funds to the wrong account, and reversals may take time.
Stay Within M-Pesa Limits
M-Pesa transaction limits apply:
- Up to KSh 150,000 per transaction
- Up to KSh 300,000 per day
If you need to send more, split the amount into multiple transactions.

- Call Equity Bank Customer Care on 0763 063 000
- Reach out on Twitter: @KeEquityBank
- Message Equity Bank Kenya on Facebook
Keep your M-Pesa confirmation SMS, as it helps customer support trace the transaction quickly.
