Fuliza is a scheme that enables M-pesa users to still complete their transactions even if their accounts are low on funds.

This overdraft service is eligible only if you have an active Safaricom line that is registered with M-pesa which actively receives fund.

Who are Beneficiaries Of Fuliza?

All M-pesa users who have registered with their national ID, Kenyan passport or military ID can activate and enjoy Fuliza services.

However according to Safaricom, not all this registered members are immediately qualified for a loan limit as it requires specific period.

“A limit that specifies the maximum amount of overdraft that an individual can access will be issued to them upon opting in,” said Safaricom.

According to Safariccom, customers with a network of less than 6 months will have a ZERO LIMIT.

• Dial the short code (*334#) from your Safaricom mobile phone.
• Select loans and savings.
• Select the service option from your menu that is “Fuliza M-pesa”
• Opt in and accept the terms and conditions by following instructions strictly.
• After successful opting in get your loan limit.

How to Increase Fuliza Loan Limit 

Safaricom has urged Fuliza customers to make timely repayments of their loans to grow their limit.

The company also recommended Kenyans to keep on saving regularly.

Safaricom also advised customers to avoid withdrawing the money from their accounts to show development and dependability over time.

“Loan limits are automatically reviewed by the system and at the bank’s discretion, depending on how consistently you’ve been saving, making timely loan repayments (including Okoa Jahazi), and utilizing the other Safaricom services (voice, data, and M-Pesa),” said Safaricom.

Additionally, Fuliza customers should keep their lines active and topped up while using more M-pesa services.

Customer is required to save continuously without withdrawing to increase loan limit.

According to Safaricom, if this procedure is followed strictly, Fuliza loan limit will improve.
