Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a business name certificate?

Safaricom requires a registered business name certificate from eCitizen to create a till that displays your business name. Without it, your till will only show your personal name.

How much does the full process cost?

The guide costs KSh 200. Additionally, you'll pay eCitizen directly: KSh 150 for name search + KSh 950 for business registration = KSh 1,100 total government fees.

Can I do this without the guide?

Yes, but the process can be confusing. Our guide saves you time by providing clear, step-by-step instructions with screenshots and tips to avoid common mistakes.

What if I just want a personal name till?

That's FREE! Simply dial *234# and follow the prompts. No guide needed. The guide is only for those who want their business name on the till.
