How to pay Mshwari loan for another number
While mshwari has yet to provide a direct or simple method for repaying an mshwari loan for another number directly from your own account, we have a workaround.
If you need to repay an mshwari loan for another number, you can only do so by sending money via Mpesa to the other number (the one with the mshwari loan).
To put it simply:
- Navigate to your Mpesa menu.
- Choose the send money option.
- Enter the phone number of the person for whom you intend to pay the Mshwari loan.
- Enter the amount to be sent.
- Enter your Mpesa pin and press “OK.”
Mpesa will then send the other person a confirmation message about the money you sent. They can then pay the mshwari loan using their own mobile phone.
The following are the steps for repaying the mshwari loan:
- Navigate to the Mpesa menu (on the mobile phone of the one with the mshwari loan)
- Choose the Loans and Savings tab
- Choose mshwari and then the loan option.
- Select “pay loan.”
- Choose Mpesa as your payment method (since the money is already in the Mpesa account).
- Enter the payment amount, then your Mpesa pin, and click “OK.”
- The Mshwari loan amount will be deducted automatically from your Mpesa account.
So that’s how to pay off another mshwari loan.
How to pay mshwari loan using another number
Because each Mshwari account is linked to only one phone number, you cannot repay a loan with another number.
If you want to repay your mshwari loan with a different phone number, you must first transfer the money to the number associated with the mshwari loan via Mpesa.
Simply follow the steps outlined above, and you’ll be fine.
