Why the app asks for notification access

Quick answer

So it can save your Majibu payment receipts from MTN and Airtel and help trace a payment. It keeps only messages that look like a successful payment to Majibu. It does not read WhatsApp, and personal messages are not forwarded. A saved receipt does not open the phone by itself.

What to do

  1. In the app, tap Allow & continue on Finish setup, or the Turn on notification access card on Home.
  2. Android opens the notification access settings. Switch on Majibu Companion.
  3. Go back to the Majibu app.

Good to know

  • When your SMS app shows a successful Mobile Money payment to Majibu, the app sends Majibu the amount and transaction ID so the payment is easier to trace.
  • The app shows "Payment message saved. Your balance updates after payment is confirmed." Your balance changes only when Majibu receives the money.
  • Messages in WhatsApp, Telegram and Messenger are never read.

Contact support if

  • the app shows a payment that is not yours
  • you have a question about your data

Have this ready

  • the phone number on your loan
  • a screenshot of what you see
Chat with support on WhatsApp

Never send your Mobile Money PIN. Majibu staff never ask for it.
