KCB Offers Loans To Customers Through Mobile Phones

Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) customers can now get loans using their mobile phones. The loans will be offered with a flexible repayment period ranging from one month to six months.

In addition the facility fee for the loan will start from as low as 2% per month. Customers will also have the option of two fixed savings options, a fixed deposit account and a target savings account.

The bank has seen its customer transactions with M-PESA triple to KShs. 125 billion, while the volume of transactions has grown from 10,000 a day to 100,000.

KCB customers can now enjoy credit facilities from as low as KShs. 50 to as high as KShs.1 million instantly on their mobile phones an innovation of branchless banking as our next frontier.

To access the service, customers will be required to dial *844#, accept the terms and conditions and proceed to save or borrow depending on their needs. The customer’s loan limit will be determined by a number of factors, including but not limited to, the amount of savings that the customer has, the customer’s usage of M-PESA, and their savings on other KCB platforms.

The KCB M-PESA Account has flexible repayment periods from one month to six months, levies affordable interest rates starting from 2% while offering access to instant loan facilities on request. The customer can also save, place standing orders or make fixed deposits on their phones.

    Dear sir/madam,i do hope you’re fine!i too.well,iwish to inform you of my shock and dissapointment after opening an mpesa account with an intention of borrowing money through an indroduction by my pal on 31/7/2015.when i logged in to borrow the money i was informed that the amount i could get for the first time wa 50bob.surely what can you do today with a loan of 50/bob in kenya and mind you my account contain more than 10,000.Does it make sense to borrow such kind.Guys get sereous and be realistic.

    • I also registered with KCB MPESA and I was able to qualify for only Ksh. 1,500 after I registered with them. But from my understanding, they require people to build their credit record with them and as you borrow and repay on time however small the amount, then your credit record improves and the borrowing limits gets increased. Hope that helps!
