But First, Things You Should Know (and Probably Don't Want to Hear, But We Gotta Be Responsible Adults Here)
Before we dive into the exciting world of loan applications, there are a few grown-up things we need to address:
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.![]()
- Be an M-PESA pal for at least 6 months: This means you've been using M-PESA for a while, proving you're not just a one-time visitor.
- Become a saving superhero: Having some savings in your M-Shwari account shows responsibility and helps determine your loan eligibility. Plus, earning interest is like finding free money under the couch – always a good thing.
- Be an all-around Safaricom superstar: Using other Safaricom services like voice calls, data, and M-PESA itself shows you're an active customer, which M-Shwari appreciates.
Okay, Now for the Fun Part: Applying for a Loan (It's Easier Than You Think!)
Here's where the magic happens:
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.![]()
- Grab your phone and open the M-PESA menu. Because, let's be honest, who carries cash around anymore?
- Head to the "Loans and Savings" section. This is where the real party starts.
- Select "M-Shwari." Because, duh, that's the loan provider we're interested in.
- Tap on "Loan" and then "Request Loan." This is where things get real (but don't worry, it's not scary).
- Enter the amount you need. Be responsible and only borrow what you can comfortably repay. Remember, adulting is all about responsible choices.
- Type in your M-PESA PIN. This is like your secret handshake with M-Shwari, so keep it safe!
- Confirm the details and hit that sweet "OK" button. Boom, you've officially applied for your loan.
M-Shwari will then send you a message letting you know if your loan application has been successful. Hopefully, it's a big "YES!" But remember, if it's not, don't despair. It just means you need to build up your M-Shwari cred a bit more.

This might sound obvious, but seriously, paying back your loan on time is crucial. Not only does it help you build a good credit history (which is essential for future financial endeavors), but it also makes you a responsible borrower and keeps M-Shwari happy (which means they're more likely to help you out again in the future).
