In this article, I will show you a simple trick to increase the Fuliza limit so you can access a higher overdraft amount.
Fuliza is an NCBA product offered through Safaricom M-Pesa. The service allows M-PESA customers to complete their M-PESA transactions when insufficient funds are in their M-PESA account.
In other words, Fuliza is an overdraft facility for all M-Pesa users that allows users to finish paying a service or send money even if they don’t have enough.
Let’s dive right into how to increase Fuliza limit step by step:

- Your Safaricom line must have been in use for the last six months
- When you meet the above requirements, go to your phone and dial *234#, and select Fuliza M-Pesa to opt-in.
- Alternatively, if you have the My Safaricom App, you can use it to get a Fuliza mpesa loan.
- M-Pesa will automatically allocate a Fuliza limit, so you can’t use more than this limit.
- To repay the loan, all you have to do is deposit to M-Pesa or receive money from your M-Pesa. They will deduct the money automatically once it gets to your account.
So every time you need to pay something or send money to someone, but your M-Pesa account is low, Fuliza will ask you to use the service to send.
Kindly note: When you opt into Fuliza, you can only top up within your limit.
