Pay Netflix with M-Pesa: A Practical Guide

Can you pay Netflix with M-Pesa?

Netflix's payment options vary by country. In many markets, Netflix accepts major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and sometimes mobile money partnerships. Direct M-Pesa support is not universal; check your account's Payment Methods page or Netflix Help Center for the latest options in your country.

Direct support by country

Some regions have partnerships that let you charge Netflix to mobile money accounts like M-Pesa. Availability depends on local partners and regulatory permissions, so it's best to confirm in your Netflix settings or help center.

Indirect options using M-Pesa

If M-Pesa isn't offered directly, you can still use it to pay indirectly. This usually involves buying a Netflix gift card or using a third-party service that accepts M-Pesa and can top up a Netflix-ready payment method.

Buying Netflix gift cards with M-Pesa

Look for retailers or mobile money agents that accept M-Pesa and sell Netflix gift cards. Ensure you're buying the correct region gift card for your Netflix account.
