As of March this 2020, Safaricom had over 3.94B in unredeemed Bonga points. As of May 2015, Safaricom surrendered over 500M in Mpesa accounts of deceased clientele to the Unclaimed Assets Authority (UFAA). I believe by now that must have grown considerably.

According to the National Treasury, the unclaimed assets held by UFAA are reinvested, in Government securities. You and I know, the proceeds of those investments are not going back to the rightful owners of the assets.

There is a simple way, for you to add your next of Kin to your subscriber account to make this process painless for them, in case of the eventuality of your demise.

So here goes.
