Safaricom has introduced Fuliza Ya Pochi, an overdraft facility that allows eligible Pochi La Biashara merchants to complete transactions even when they have insufficient funds in their business wallets.
On October 22, 2026, the telecommunications company launched the service at Makongeni Market in Thika, allowing qualifying traders to access credit for expenses such as purchasing stock, paying suppliers and settling bills.
During the launch, Safaricom highlighted the cash flow challenges that small businesses encounter when meeting financial obligations.
