Thanks, but I hit a snag, the PayPal is my business account.

The Mpesa account is in my personal name, so I cannot link them (though they have the same mobile number)

Outside Equity are there any other banks that can be linked to PayPal in Kenya ? That would be my other option.

Hello everyone! Thank you @sharpiemarker for your help on this one!

@SergeBug, welcome to the PayPal Community! Unfortunately you would not be able to transfer funds from your PayPal account to a friend's MPesa account. They would need to be the same name, phone number, etc. You can find more information in the links provided by sharpiemarker above. 

Best wishes!
