This archive report was first published on 3 May 2021.

As of now, Netflix has not introduced direct MPESA payment option, but you can still use it with a little extra step.

First, you need to have a PayPal account, which can be opened in just a few minutes.

1. Open a PayPal account and link it to your MPESA account.
2. Transfer the required amount of funds to your PayPal account according to your chosen Netflix subscription plan.
3. The funds will be automatically sent to PayPal.
4. If you were previously using a credit/debit card, you can simply switch to PayPal as your payment method.

Netflix has seen a significant rise in viewership and subscriptions in Africa over the past few years, thanks in part to the increasing availability of fast and affordable internet.

With its growing success in Kenya and around the world, it's hoped that Netflix will soon introduce direct MPESA payment option, following the lead of many other multinationals.
