Horrible service encounter with Mukuru
Mukuru employees seems confused and incompetent, very poor service. To be specific the Agent by the Name DINEO LESIA. She works in the documents verification department.
After receiving money from UK, i realised had forgotten my 4 pin digit to generate Y Code. I was advised to send a clear self photo holding my passport. I then went to Mukuru office -Rosettenvile and they took the photo and advised me to expect a call within 24 hours and get assisted with resetting the 4 digit pin. To my disappointment no call was made. Ref 9605758#.
I then call Mukuru several times to get assisted, i spend more than R200 on calls but till now the matter is not resolved. I was then told that take another selfie with passport and send to verification department, i did and received repeated automated response requesting same documents i sent via email and also submitted to them by their office! What a frustration .
Am just wondering if this organisation really understands own processes.
What a horrible experience, will never recommend anyone to utilise Mukuru services

Hi Gudrun
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the delay in your funds reflecting, as well as for the manner in which your concerns were handled.
We can confirm that the refund has since been successfully processed and paid. While we are pleased that the funds have been returned, we acknowledge that the overall experience fell short of the service standards Mukuru is committed to providing.
Your feedback regarding the interaction with our consultant has been taken seriously, and the matter has been formally addressed internally to ensure that all customer engagements remain respectful, professional, and supportive.
We would also like to thank you for being a loyal Mukuru customer. Your continued support is valued, and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention as it helps us improve our services.
Thank you for your patience, and please do not hesitate to reach out should you require any further assistance.

Received a confirmation message about my bank to be topped up in a few moments, only to spend the whole day with no funds received. When queried, realised that the system has been offline for 2 weeks, makes me wonder why allow the transactions to be processed if you know your system is offline. It causes great inconvenience, I dont even have an alternative now and have a bill due today. I do understand about the system being offline, but why still allow people to transact when you know you are going to hold their monies.

Dear Donald,
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the delay in your recent transaction, particularly given the urgency of your funds.
The issue experienced was intermittent, which resulted in some transactions being delayed. We acknowledge your feedback and recognise the importance of clear communication during such technical disruptions.
We would like to reassure you that the issue has now been resolved and our systems are fully operational. Transactions are currently being processed as normal, and our teams are actively working to further strengthen system stability and improve customer communication to prevent similar occurrences.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

You guys you make it difficult for recipients to access cash in their wallets even if you can positively identify them beyond reasonable doubt that she /he is the correct recipient .I send my daughter cash on her number ,only to realize that she lost the line later after I had sent and the money went into her wallet, so what's the point of refusing access to cash when she can produce her ID?I think you need to conform to new world standards promoted by lastest technology to avoid these kinds of inconveniences, you have been in business quite long yet you still have a lot of inconveniences.

Hi Fidza
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience you and your daughter experienced. We completely understand how frustrating it is when funds cannot be accessed immediately.
To protect customers from fraud, funds can only be accessed through the verified wallet number or banking details linked to the account. Because of this, we always encourage senders to confirm the correct details before sending.
However, please note that Mukuru also offers secure cash collection points where recipients can collect funds using their valid ID for authentication — especially helpful if the registered number is lost or no longer in use.
We would be happy to assist your daughter so she can access her money securely. Please contact us with her full details and order number at:📩 support@mukuru.com or WhatsApp +2786001 8555
We appreciate your loyalty and your suggestions — they help us improve our services for all customers.

Hi Bernard,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry about the delays you’ve experienced, we understand how frustrating this can be.
Please note that the Mukuru Card is a wallet and not a traditional bank account, so processing times can vary depending on how the sending institution releases the funds. Still, a 3-day wait is not ideal, and we’re working with our partners to improve this.
We’ve also noted your concerns about fees, and your feedback helps us identify where we can do better.
Thank you for raising this, we’re committed to improving your experience. If you need further help, please reach out on 0860 018 555 or support@mukuru.com

I write this with a heavy heart as I have been a Mukuru client. I was expecting $1000 which was sent from N. Richards in Bindura. This money did not reflect in my UK account. The sender has since cancelled the transaction but still has not received a refund. What kind of scam is Mukuru running. I have since emailed your complaints email. You have operations in the United Kingdom. You should be reported to the ombudsman as you are playing with people’s livelihoods. Are you FCA registered because what you are doing is totally unacceptable. Refund the money that you have taken.

Hi Mrs Khumalo,
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and fully understand the urgency of your situation. Please know that we take such matters very seriously, especially when they involve medical emergencies.
After reviewing your transaction, we identified that the payment was made using a business account rather than a personal account. For security and compliance reasons, our system automatically flags and prevents transactions from business accounts, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions. This measure is in place to protect our customers and ensure regulatory compliance.
We have requested that you kindly provide us with the account details where the payment was made so that we can expedite the refund you requested. We hope this clarifies the matter and want to assure you that if a personal account had been used, the transaction would have been processed promptly and successfully.

Hi Esther,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand your concern regarding the multiple Monthly Active Card Fees, and we sincerely apologise for any confusion or frustration this may have caused.
To explain:
The Monthly Active Card Fee is a standard charge for maintaining your Mukuru Card and its associated services. In some cases, multiple fees may be deducted at once if:
There was a previously active Mukuru Card linked to your profile with unpaid monthly fees, and
The system automatically recovered these outstanding charges once sufficient funds were available.
To protect our customers from building up high arrears, cards are automatically blocked after three months of non-payment. However, any outstanding monthly service fees remain payable and may be collected once the account becomes active again — even if a new card is issued.
To ensure there are no anomalies or errors in your account activity, we kindly ask that you provide us with your Mukuru-registered phone number. This will allow our team to investigate your profile in detail and escalate the matter if necessary.
You may reach out to our support team directly via email on qa@mukuru.com.

Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the delay and frustration you’ve experienced.
At Mukuru, we understand how important it is for funds to reach your loved ones quickly—especially during urgent times. We're truly sorry that your first transaction did not meet your expectations.
Please note that, in some cases, our system requires additional verification in line with international anti-money laundering regulations. This is a standard legal requirement, while it may have delayed your transfer, it is essential to ensure your money is secure and that we comply with regulatory obligations.
We have successfully refunded your order as per your request, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in our service. Should you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at qa@mukuru.com.
I trusted Mukuru with my card
I trusted Mukuru with my card, but I’m deeply disappointed in how they’ve handled my case.
In January 2025, my Mukuru card was used fraudulently on Uber Eats without my consent. I didn’t even receive an SMS notification for the transaction. I reported it immediately, and I was told the investigation would be completed in 52 days.
Since then, I’ve been the one constantly following up. In February, they said they were just starting the investigation. In May, they told me there was a backlog. It’s now July, and I have received no refund, no final update, and no apology.
It’s been 6 months of silence, delay, and negligence from Mukuru. I have all my records, and it’s clear I’ve been more than patient.
Please resolve this urgently or I’ll be forced to escalate to the National Consumer Commission and Banking Ombudsman. I just want this resolved fairly and respectfully.

Hi Takunda
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologise for the distress and frustration you’ve experienced, and we truly appreciate your patience over the past few months.
We fully understand the seriousness of your concerns, especially when it involves fraudulent activity on your Mukuru Card. You placed your trust in us, and it’s deeply regrettable that you’ve had to endure such delays and silence during what should have been a prompt and supportive process.
We want to reassure you that your case has remained active and under investigation. Unfortunately, the delay has largely been due to a lack of cooperation from the third party involved who has not responded to our official investigation requests. While we continue to follow all necessary protocols to obtain the required information, we also recognise that the responsibility for clear and timely communication to you rests with us, and we have fallen short in that regard.
We’ve now escalated your case internally and assigned it to senior management within our Fraud and Customer Support teams. You will be contacted directly with an update and resolution path. Your trust is extremely important to us, and we are committed to ensuring this is resolved fairly and respectfully.

STAY AWAY FROM MUKURU IF YOU DON'T WANT HEADACHES
There was an unauthorized deduction on my Mukuru card during the night while I was asleep. The next morning I called them and they only managed to block the card and promised to investigate. It's been more than 3 weeks and still no help. Each time I call I'm told my issue will be escalated to the ***** Department. Card still blocked and still not having my money back. My simple advice is STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY CALLED MUKURU

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We sincerely regret the inconvenience you’ve experienced and fully understand how frustrating this situation must be.
Please note that investigations of this nature may take longer than usual. They involve a thorough review of transaction logs, internal system records, and, in this case, coordination with a third party—Uber. This process ensures compliance with financial regulations and helps us reach an accurate and fair resolution.
As a precautionary measure to protect your funds, we have blocked your card since your card information was compromised.
We can confirm that our Wallet Fraud team assured that your case remains a priority. It has been escalated to the relevant department, and we are actively following up to ensure it is resolved as swiftly as possible.
We truly appologise and appreciate your patience and understanding. Should you have any further questions or require assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us on qa@mukuru.com
I wish there was a zero rating
I wish there was a zero rating. I am a long time customer. Last week I sent money to my sis. They said it was pending review but they never tell you why or that they need any action from you. I called them they said to send my sister's passport which I did. They refused this saying they dont want a scanned or photocopied passport. They want an original. Now if am in UK sending money to Malawi, how can I have the original passport of the recipient? And they dont want a physical copy of the passport so how else can I send them an original passport. I have sent money several times over the years without this faff. Why cant they just get the details of the recipient from me then verify with her when she collects? Why would I send money to someone I do not know? I see that they get a lot of complaints here and just give the standard response of we do our best blah blah blah but nothing improves. If things were improving there would be some positive reviews. Also I do not thing their London number is actually based on London. I will report Mukuru to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the National Crimes Agency. If they are above board then fine. If they are being shady then FCA or NCA can escalate the matter. Fed up!

As a regulated financial service provider, we’re required to verify certain documents to meet legal and compliance obligations. We understand the confusion around the request for an “original passport” — to clarify, we only require a clear photo of the physical passport, not a scan or photocopy.
