How to Pay for Claude Pro in Kenya with M-Pesa (2026 Guide)

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, and many Kenyan developers, students and writers want the paid Claude Pro plan. The problem is paying for it: Claude takes card payments only, and many Kenyan debit cards are declined for foreign subscriptions. The way round it is a prepaid virtual Visa or Mastercard bought with M-Pesa.

The short answer

Buy a Virtual Visa or Virtual Mastercard card at iTey Gift Cards and pay with M-Pesa. The $30 card covers one month.
Redeem the code at rewarble.com to get a card number, expiry date and CVV.
On claude.ai, open Settings → Billing → Upgrade to Pro and enter that card.

How much does Claude Pro cost in Kenya?

Claude Pro is $20 a month. Kenyan customers are also charged 16% VAT, so the checkout shows $23.20. That is why we suggest the $30 card: it covers the first month with a little left over. The $50 card covers two months.

Step 1: buy the card with M-Pesa

Go to Virtual Visa (or Mastercard), choose $30 or $50, and pay in shillings with M-Pesa. The code arrives by email, usually within minutes.

Step 2: redeem it at rewarble.com

Open rewarble.com/redeem, enter the code, and sign in or create a free Rewarble account. You receive a card number, expiry date and CVV. Rewarble may ask you to verify your identity before it issues the card, so have your ID ready.

Step 3: pay for Claude Pro

On claude.ai click your name, then Settings → Billing, choose Pro and enter the card details. Claude bills the card each month; when the balance runs low, buy another card and update your payment method.

Things to know before you buy

It is a prepaid card with a fixed balance, not a bank account.
Some websites refuse prepaid cards. The card cannot be refunded once the code is delivered, including if a site declines it or Rewarble's identity check fails.
