Mpesa was and is still the most used mobile money service in Kenya. It was and is still therefore a must to have a registered mpesa wallet to apply for a Tala loan. Approved loans are disbursed to Mpesa accounts.

But why will Tala give an individual with a Safaricom Mpesa account and an android smartphone a zero loan limit?

Your mpesa account is less active .
If you delete your Mpesa messages and Call logs all the time.
If you interact with others less over the phone through calls or messages.

How to Contact Loan Apps - 11 Customer Care Phone numbers

Mwabaya Katana March 08, 2021 No comments

Okash Loan App

When loan apps started operations in Kenya, most of them never disclosed their mobile or landline customer care numbers. In addition the digital lenders also never revealed their business premises locations.

This was very confusing to the borrowers. I already wrote an article about why loan apps hide phone numbers and locations .

I remember talking to an American woman, Alexis Beggs , a researcher who was in the country back in 2016 trying to assess the effectiveness of remote communication applied by the digital lenders.

Alexis contacted me after reading How to Contact Tala from my blog and we had a good talk.

Were you comfortable with the way loan apps were hiding their phone numbers?

Many Kenyans were not comfortable and started complaining, the same reason why the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) wants to regulate the apps.

With regulation on the way, most loan apps have slowly started disclosing their contacts especially phone numbers.

For the purpose of this article, I'll list the numbers so far disclosed and the respective loan apps. It's still unfortunate though that the most popular, established digital lenders like Tala and Branch are yet to disclose their phone contacts.

What Is CRB Batch Number and How Long Does It Take To Be Removed From CRB Blacklist

Mwabaya Katana March 08, 2021 No comments

Most of the time ,CRB will ask for a batch number in order to provide a customer with a service like a Clearance Certificate issuance.

But, what is a CRB Batch number? What is a batch number important to the CRB? If you're a borrower and have been asking for this information then this article is for you.

What is a batch number

The lenders, both commercial banks and non-banks are required to submit daily updates about all borrowers' information to the CRB.

Due to the large number of borrowers accounts, lenders have chosen to send the information to the CRB in groups termed as batches.

Each batch contains information about a group of borrowers (customers) and has a specific number attached to it. This number is now what is called a Batch Number.

Batch Numbers are specific for example a Metropol CRB Batch number will be different from a Transunion CRB or Creditinfo CRB Batch Number.

If a lender listed you with all the three CRBs and now you need to clear your name, the lender will have to give you three batch numbers each for every specific CRB.

Why is a Batch Number Needed by the CRB

A lender will present a batch number to a borrower, which the borrower will then present to the CRB for clearance.

A batch number presented by the borrower will help the CRB to easily locate borrower's account information from the database and work on the clearing from the blacklist.

How Long Does It Take To Be Removed From CRB Blacklist

Due to the huge number of borrowers accounts being submitted to the CRB in batches, it can take between 2 and 4 working days before one is completely removed from the CRB blacklist.
