convenience has prevailed over most financial operations that were otherwise only possible by physically visiting a banking agent or banking hall. Mobile money services such as Lipa na Mpesa are so easy to use and doesn’t require one to be physically present at the bank. Today for example when I needed to make an online transaction with my funds in the cooperative bank account and couldn’t because the available funds were insufficient, I couldn’t tell just how Safaricom’s fuliza and Lipa na Mpesa services could come in handy.
I was poised to purchase something on Aliexpress using available funds in my bank account when I was presented with a dreadful error of insufficient funds. Have you ever been so eager to buy something especially one of the latest high-tech gadgets only to realize that the amount you have isn’t enough? Or wanted to deposit some funds in your cooperative bank account but agents or banking branches are so far away? And of course the seller was only accepting card as the only means of payment.
Well that happened to me and just wanted to share with readers how that activity could be so simple with Lipan a Mpesa. The service is currently available to many financial institutions and just like any other transaction, you can deposit money into your Cooperative bank account through MPESA Paybill Number 400200 in seconds.
Here is how to instantly deposit cash to your cooperative bank account via Lipa na mpesa
- First of all, you’ll need to ensure yo have an active Mpesa account with enough funds to deposit to your coop account

- Select Pay Bill from the list then Business No
