Safaricom explains how customers can get M-Pesa GlobalPay Visa Card

Safaricom has outlined how customers can obtain the M-PESA GlobalPay Virtual Visa Card, following increasing demand for the digital payment platform. When a customer inquired about obtaining the card, Safaricom directed them to utilize the service via the M-PESA App. To activate the card, users must log into My One App, select Financial Services, choose Global Payments, and then opt for M-PESA Visa Card (GlobalPay), following the provided instructions.

This virtual card is intended for use on international websites and platforms that accept Visa cards. Safaricom has also introduced Fuliza in conjunction with the GlobalPay Visa Card, which enables eligible customers to access their Fuliza limit when their M-PESA balance is insufficient for a transaction. This combination allows businesses, freelancers, and individuals to manage digital payments effectively, even during temporary cash-flow shortfalls.

The move underscores the growing trend of app-based financial services, enabling customers to activate digital payment products directly from their mobile devices. Safaricom encourages businesses to explore the possibilities of using their M-PESA GlobalPay Virtual Visa Card for transactions, ensuring that their wallet balance won't hinder their operations.

To begin the process, customers should open the M-PESA App, navigate to Financial Services, select Global Payments, and choose M-PESA Visa Card (GlobalPay), then follow the prompts to activate the card. This flexibility can prove invaluable for small business owners, preventing delays in purchasing goods, services, or handling other eligible transactions, particularly in situations where unexpected cash-flow gaps occur.

It is important to note that Fuliza serves as a credit facility rather than additional income, and users must consider associated charges, limits, and repayment obligations before utilizing the service.
