How to withdraw money from your MPESA Fuliza balance on your phone, no need to send to another number

Fuliza is a mobile-based overdraft facility offered by Safaricom and was unveiled back in 2019 but was limited in terms of its use cases, allowing customers to send cash to friends and family, pay bills and buy goods, and buy airtime for themselves and others.

With the recent addition of the ability to withdraw cash from the overdraft facility, Fuliza has become more functional and versatile. This feature now allows customers from having to get another SIM card, send money to another person who does not have Fuliza, or tell a sender not to send money to them because they have an overdraft. It also makes the product more closely resemble a loan product, despite the company’s insistence that Fuliza is not a loan product.

How to Withdraw from your MPESA Fuliza balance

  • Go to your MPESA Menu
  • Tap on Withdraw
  • Select either “Withdraw at Agent” or “Withdraw at ATM“
  • Follow the prompts
  • When asked to confirm to “Fuliza“, tap on proceed 
  • Fuliza charges will be shown as well as withdrawal charges

Fuliza is also one of Safaricom’s biggest earners, having overtaken other similar products like KCB M-PESA and M-Shwari in terms of earnings. The value of Fuliza disbursements had reached KES 502.66 billion by March 2022, with a 43.1% YoY increase, and a repayment versus disbursement rate of 101.5%. Furthermore, Fuliza’s revenue had reached KES 5.94 billion, a 31.0% YoY increase.

In addition, rates have been adjusted downwards, meaning customers now pay less than the initial rates, which makes the product more accessible to a broader customer base.

It is also notable that Safaricom hasn’t officially announced the new cash withdrawal feature, which might be a strategy of the company. Since the feature is not communicated it may be less likely for people to withdraw large amount of money and non-repayment, which in turn can help the company maintaining the high repayment rate.

This TVET institution which was funded by the government will offer various artisan courses such as electrical and mechanical engineering, masonry, plumbing, beauty and catering. The main aim of this college is to enhance literacy levels in the country and provide learning opportunities for students interested in vocational education.

Amolo also praised the government for covering fees for students enrolled in TVET institutions.

The NGCDF has allocated one million shillings to support tuition fees for the fifty students, at the Ruiru Technical and Vocational College. The school will start enrolling students on January 9th. Will be overseen by Dr. Linda Ayuku, who previously served as the academic head at Kisumu Polytechnic. Amolo urged residents to make use of this new school by investing in housing or offering rooms for rent to accommodate students from other areas. He also advised parents to motivate their children to explore education and training (TVET) institutions highlighting that they offer fundamental courses at various levels such, as artisanal, certificate and diploma programs which could lead to better job prospects compared to a traditional university degree.

Kenya Power Company Struggles with Shortage of Power Meters, Leading to Delays and Customer Inconvenience

Kenya Power Company, which is the main electricity distributor in Kenya, has shared that they are facing a notable problem related to power meters. The customers of this firm throughout the country have been experiencing scarcity in supply for these small but important units that record how much electricity one uses.

Meanwhile, landlords have transformed into energy-saving warriors, urging tenants to conserve power and purchase tokens to avoid exorbitant bills. They’ve taken on the role of power-saving coaches, rallying their tenants to victory. “Turn off those lights, folks! Let’s show those bills who’s boss!”

However, the ramifications of this power meter shortage extend beyond mere delays; it’s hitting customers where it hurts the most—their wallets. Imagine the financial blow of having your meter destroyed, whether at home or in your business. It’s enough to bring tears to even the most stoic of individuals.

But amidst these challenges, Kenya Power Company has some uplifting news to share. Despite the hurdles, they’ve achieved remarkable success, boasting a net profit of a staggering Sh3.50 billion for the year ending June 30—a remarkable 134% growth compared to the previous year. How did they achieve this feat? By increasing sales by 6.9%, improving system efficiency to a commendable 77.57%, and reducing operating costs by 4.6%.

Furthermore, their tax expenses plummeted from Sh6.71 billion to Sh1.62 billion—a substantial decrease that contributed to their financial triumph. Despite the setback of the power meter shortage, Kenya Power Company remains a resilient force, poised to overcome challenges and continue serving the nation.

In the meantime, let us join forces—landlords and tenants—to conserve power and keep our energy usage in check. Together, we can navigate through this power meter shortage and emerge stronger, shining a light on conservation and making Kenya proud.
