The service which allows customers to access loans based on their credit worth history while also enabling them to save on free deposit accounts and earn interest is a competition to CBA’s M-SHWARI and a number of other services such as Mkopo Rahisi.

“We have just started and we will deepen this. This partnership is built on long-term thinking. These are two businesses which have a similar long term vision of transforming lives in every market in which they have footprints,” said KCB Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Joshua Oigara

“The 1 millionth customer is just a show of how this product is significant to our customers, the fact that one can borrow instantly from their phones for amounts ranging from Kshs.100/= for bus fare, KShs. 50/= to purchase airtime says a lot about the people accessing this credit facility at all levels of our society from a mama mboga. It is those little amounts that are making a difference in people’s lives showing how this innovation is driving financial inclusion”, said Oigara.

KCB-M-PESA account holders are required to dial the USSD code *844# to see how much they can borrow and follow the prompts to secure the loan which will be sent to their KCB M-PESA accounts instantly. The loan amount is determined by the amount of savings that the customer has made, M-PESA balance, and their savings on both Safaricom and KCB platforms and usage of their suite of products.
