This is a step-by-step guide on how to withdraw Fuliza from an Mpesa agent. Fuliza is a continuous overdraft service that allows Safaricom’s Mpesa customers to complete their Mpesa transactions even when they don’t have enough funds in their Mpesa account.
To enjoy Fuliza Mpesa overdraft services, a customer must be registered on Mpesa with an active Safaricom Mpesa line. Customers will need to opt into the service to enjoy it.
A customer who wishes to take the facility will be charged a one-off 1% access fee and a daily maintenance fee is applied the next day at midnight at 00.00 hours.
A customer will further be charged a 20% excise duty on the access fee. That means a customer who uses Fuliza and repays before the next day at 00.00 hours will only pay the access fee and a maintenance amount on the outstanding amount.
Initially, Fuliza was limited in terms of use. You could only use the service to;
- Use lipa na Mpesa services like paybill, buy goods option/ make payments via a till number.
- Send money to other Mpesa registered users or other mobile money networks.
- Buy airtime.
- Send money to other Mpesa users to withdraw for you the funds.
Safaricom recently introduced a service where one can withdraw money directly from an Mpesa agent with Fuliza. The process is done the same way one does a normal transaction.
