As a borrower, you might be curious about certain aspects, such as how to repay Tala, Branch, or Saida loans for another line. Additionally, you might wonder if it’s feasible to pay off a loan for someone else using your phone.
Moreover, you may inquire about the possibility of utilizing a different M-Pesa account to settle a mobile loan for another M-Pesa account. Fortunately, we’ve got all the answers to these burning questions!”
Regardless of your reasons, the question is whether it is possible to pay someone else Tala, Branch, or Saida Loan using your phone.
Saida, Tala, and Branch have been reliable loan applications lending money to Kenyans, enabling them to expand businesses and cater to emergencies by dispensing soft and urgent loans.
Paying a friend’s Loan
Upon inquiry from the Tala team, we were informed that you could use another person’s registered M-Pesa number to make payments. Use pay-bill 851900 and YOUR registered Tala phone number as the account number.
As you can see, paying another person’s Loan is possible using your phone number. However, there are essential things that you should note.
If you are paying a Tala loan for a friend, you should not be a Tala customer, meaning your lines should not be registered there.
Ideally, after making the payment, the amount should reflect on the person’s Tala Account after 24 hours. If the amount does not reflect within the time, you should contact the loan app and explain the inconvenience.
Step-by-step process of how to repay someone’s Tala, Saida, or Branch Loan
- Go to the M-pesa menu
- Select Lipa na M-pesa
- Select Paybill no (Here, enter 851900)
- Enter Account no (Here, enter your friend’s M-Pesa phone number)
- Enter the amount (enter the loan amount)
- Enter M-pesa PIN
- Press OK
Note: To pay for another Mpesa number you or a friend/relative you want to help use to get a loan from Tala, enter their number as the account number.
It should be noted that if you are using the Branch loan app or the Saida loan app, the steps are the same to pay for a loan for another person.
Change the Paybill number to 998608 for Branch app users and 854400 for Saida app users. It is as simple as pie, as you can see.
Use the correct pay bill numbers for the loan app you are repaying with and input your friend’s number as the account number, and that is it. You have done them the honor of paying their debt.
