FAQs

Our Referral Program is an initiative we’ve created to reward our valued small business customers for referring qualifying friends, family, colleagues, and business contacts to join Lula Banking. You and your referred friend can earn a cash bonus of R500 each when you and your friend open a Lula business bank account, and your friend makes at least 1 transaction within 30 days. 

Any business with an existing Lula Business Bank Account can participate in the Referral Program. If you have an active Lula Business Banking Account, you can start referring others and earning rewards. It’s as easy as that!

Earning rewards is easy. You can access your unique referral link as an existing Lula Business Banking Account holder. You can then share this link with friends, family, colleagues, or business contacts through various channels like social media, SMS, WhatsApp, or any other platform. When the person you refer successfully applies for a Lula Business Banking Account using your unique link and meets the qualifying criteria, you’ll receive a cash bonus in your Lula accounts.

Simply log in to your Lula banking account, click the profile logo (top right), select ‘Refer a friend’ in the drop-down menu, and click ‘Get Started’. Your referral link will be displayed.

A successful referral occurs when the business you referred uses your unique link to apply for a Lula Business Account, meets the qualifying criteria, and transacts within 30 days of their account opening.

The referral bonus calculation is determined on the 20th of each month when the Referral Program is active, with payments made on the first business day of the following month. 

For example, if a successful referral happens on or before the 20th, the bonus will be paid on the first business day of the following month; otherwise, it will be processed in the next cycle.

You won’t earn a referral bonus if the person you referred has previously applied for a Lula Business bank account or has applied for business funding. You’ll also not be eligible for a referral bonus if you’ve used another unique referral link or if you haven’t transacted within the first 30 days of opening your account. If you’re in arrears with Lula or have an active Advance agreement that has fallen into arrears, you’ll also not be eligible for a referral reward.

It’s pretty easy! To participate, you must be a registered business and an existing Lula Business Banking customer with an active account, transacting at least once a month. You can share your unique referral link with others if you meet these requirements.
