Safaricom has quietly rolled out a new feature allowing the M-PESA GlobalPay Virtual Visa Card to utilize Fuliza, Safaricom's overdraft service, for international online purchases.

• The feature, previously unavailable, now bridges the gap for users short on funds in their M-PESA wallet.
• This update enables the virtual Visa card to automatically draw from your Fuliza limit if your M-PESA balance is insufficient.
• Users can enable or disable this integration through the My OneApp under the "Global Payments" section.
• A key warning is issued regarding automated subscription payments, which will now automatically pull from Fuliza without PIN confirmation.

Safaricom customers with Home Fibre service can temporarily pause their internet subscriptions when away, a feature not currently available for 5G Home users.

• Home Fibre users can pause their service by contacting Safaricom via text or email from their registered contact.
• This flexibility is a significant benefit for frequent travelers or those with extended absences, unlike the company's 5G Home offering.
• The feature appears to be under-marketed by Safaricom, with many customers unaware of its availability.

Little has integrated the Kenya Revenue Authority’s (KRA) Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS) into its platform. This move aims to simplify tax compliance for corporate clients using ride-hailing services.

• Corporate customers of Little can now automatically receive KRA-compliant invoices for eligible trips.
• Little Cab Corporate Affairs Manager Nyawira Maina announced the integration during the launch of the Little x KRA eTIMS Tax Compliance Awareness Campaign.
• The integration is particularly beneficial for companies that use ride-hailing for employee transport, client meetings, and business travel.
