How to pay for Showmax via USSD 

In-app M-Pesa payments will be integrated into the new platform in the coming months. 

Showmax 2.0 is here, alongside a stand-alone Showmax Premier League plan for mobile.

Showmax, whose new and redesigned app is now live in Kenya, is migrating existing customers onto the new globally established Peacock streaming platform from 23 January.

The new platform introduces new prices and plans. Showmax Entertainment now costs at Ksh 650, Showmax Entertainment Mobile at Ksh 300, and Africa’s first standalone Showmax Premier League plan at Ksh 500. 

As the service goes live in Kenya, available Showmax payment methods will include Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards, DStv Add to Bill (where DStv subscribers can add Showmax to their account at a reduced cost or no extra cost for Premium subs), vouchers and M-Pesa via USSD (*375#).

In-app M-Pesa payments will be integrated into the new platform in the coming months. 

“As an African streaming platform, we’re constantly working to improve the Showmax experience for our customers from Nairobi to Mombasa and across Kenya,” says Showmax Chief Operating Officer Joe Heshu. “We’re pleased to be partnering with many companies in Kenya to make our payments process seamless and are fortunate to have a strong relationship with Safaricom. We have worked with them to integrate M-Pesa via USSD and will also continue that process until M-Pesa is broadly available.” 

At the relaunch in February, new and existing customers will have access to a record 20 brand-new Showmax Originals including new South African serial killer thriller Red Ink, a new season of Nigerian hit drama Flawsome, a new season of The Real Housewives of Durban, and international hits like Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Halo S2 and more.
