Digital mobile loan providers in Kenya are licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of Kenya before they can operate in the country. Currently, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has only approved 32 digital loan apps to provide short-term loans to Kenyans in need of quick cash.
Before a loan app is approved by the CBK and given a license to operate in Kenya, it has to prove that it is playing safe and fair. The Central Bank requires the app to obtain the borrower’s consent before accessing their credit report and personal information.
Additionally, the loan app should not charge excessive interest rates and other fees.
