Inua Jamii has rolled out a USSD code that allows beneficiaries and caregivers to withdraw cash from M-PESA.
Beneficiaries can access cash withdrawals by dialing *222# on their phone and following an easy process.
This initiative, effective from January 2025 payment cycle, will ensure all beneficiaries receive their stipends via the e-Citizen-Mpesa payment platform.
However, all beneficiaries should have Safaricom registered lines that match their ID cards, and they will be required to activate their M-PESA accounts to receive their funds.
Inua Jamii Self-Initiated Cash Withdrawal Option one
When initiating self-withdrawals, beneficiaries should visit the nearest M-PESA agent with their ID.
From the Safaricom registered line, the beneficiaries or the caregiver will be required to dial *222#, then select Inua Jamii.
Further, they will select withdraw from the agent and enter the agent number and store number.
Beneficiaries and caregivers will receive a notification of the amount being withdrawn. They must withdraw the full amount they have indicated.
After the notification message, enter the M-PESA pin and wait for a confirmation message.
Upon successful withdrawal, the beneficiary or caregiver will be issued with funds and collect their identification cards (ID) from the agent.
