Refresh your limit

Safaricom says you can refresh your Fuliza limit once a month: dial *334# > Fuliza M-PESA > Refresh My Limit. To qualify, you need a good CRB history and must not be in default on another loan.

Raising it

Safaricom’s advice is to keep using its services regularly and keep a good repayment record. It does not publish the formula.
