How to increase Fuliza limits
Safaricom may occasionally issue you a very low Fuliza limit that is insufficient for your transactions, and you may want an increase of the Fuliza limit.
However, increasing your Fuliza limit is not automatic, as only Safaricom’s Mpesa system is capable of doing so (naturally, they review your limit after three months).
Well, transacting larger amounts more frequently on Mpesa is the quickest way to increase your Fuliza limit.
At the same time, ensure that you repay your Fuliza loans as well as other mobile app loans (e.g. Mshwari) on time always by topping up your Mpesa account.
According to Fuliza Safaricom, the sooner you repay your Fuliza loan, the higher your Fuliza loan will be, which means that if you take a long time to repay your Fuliza loan, you risk having your Loan Limit reduced.
Another tip for increasing your loan limit is to be an active Fuliza user; keep borrowing and repaying as much as you can on time. This helps you gain Safaricom’s trust and, hopefully, increase your Fuliza loan limit.
However, if you believe that three months is too long to wait for your Fuliza Mpesa limit to increase to a reasonable level, you can take the following steps to expedite the process.
This is accomplished by opting out and then back in, which will frequently result in a change to your Mpesa limit, though there is no guarantee that it will be increased.
In some cases, your limit may significantly increase, while in others, it may return to zero. However, your new limit may be the same as your old limit in some cases.
The steps are outlined below.
Another thing to check before opting out of Fuliza is that you do not have any outstanding Fuliza balances.
Then:
- Dial *234#.
- Choose Fuliza Mpesa.
- Select “opt out.”
- Once again, dial *234# and select “opt in” instead.
If everything went well, you should have a higher limit. However, keep in mind that it is not a guarantee that you will receive an increase. It could be the other way around, either losing or gaining.
You can also opt out and opt back in to Fuliza using the MySafaricom app:
- Launch the MySafaricom app.
- Select Mpesa from the menu.
- Choose Fuliza Mpesa.
- Select “Opt out.”
- Return to the Mpesa menu and select Fuliza M-PESA.
- Choose the Opt In option this time.
- Your new limit will appear on the screen.

How to Increase Fuliza Limits – FAQs
What is the maximum Fuliza limit?
There’s no definite highest Fuliza limit- it varies from individual to individual and is also subject to existing MPESA terms and conditions including the Max amount you can transact daily on your Mpesa.
Can you Fuliza if you have Mshwari loan?
Yes, you can use both the Fuliza and Mshwari loans at the same time. This is because Mshwari loans are paid directly from your Mpesa or Mshwari account, whereas Fuliza loans are automatically recovered from Mpesa balances.
This means you can keep Fuliza funds in your Mpesa account even if you have an outstanding Mshwari loan.
