Types of MPESA Statement
An MPESA statement is a record you can request from Safaricom that shows the transactions you have made through MPESA within a given timeframe.
Before going into the guide, it is important to understand the types of MPESA statements you can get from Safaricom. There are basically 2 types of MPESA statements:
- Full MPESA statement
- Mini MPESA statement
Full MPESA statement
A full MPESA statement shows all the transactions that you have made within a given period. This means it can be used to tell whether or not someone has been spending money on your account.
You can request a full MPESA statement either monthly, quarterly, biannually, or annually.
When you request a full statement from Safaricom, it will be delivered in form of a PDF file. Therefore, you will need to have a PDF file reader installed either on your phone, tablet, or PC. Moreover, the PDF file is encrypted for security purposes. Therefore, to open it, you will need to input the original identification document number you registered your MPESA line with. The document can either be your National Identification card, Passport, Military ID, diplomatic ID, or alien ID.

Mini MPESA statement
The mini MPESA is limited and shows only the last five (MPESA) transactions per day in your MPESA history for that day. It also shows the total balance for that day before and after these five transactions are done with.
A mini statement is normally delivered in form of an SMS on your line.
