SurfPay is the self-care app for your internet service. See your balance, renewal date and data use the moment you open it, then pay in about ten seconds with M-Pesa, right from the app. Home Fibre customers can top up, renew, switch plans, check what the line is actually doing with a built-in speed test, and manage the router and WiFi credentials, all without a phone call. Short on funds? Activate a grace period and keep the line on while you sort it out. Hotspot customers can buy WiFi by the hour, day or week wherever they see the network, pay with M-Pesa, and connect automatically once payment clears. Keep a saved device signed in, redeem vouchers, and manage several ISPs from one account. Everything in one place: transaction history, receipts, support tickets with photo attachments, loyalty points, and push notifications for payments and renewals. Sign in with your phone number and password, and stay signed in with Face ID. SurfPay is provided by Iterative Billing for internet service providers in Kenya. You need an active account with a participating provider to use the app.
