With a PesaPap wallet account you can access loans from within the app. PesaPap wallet account is your Safaricom number which you will use to create the wallet account within the PesaPap App.

Apart from using PesaPap app, you can use the USSD code *325# to access PesaPap services even on a feature phone.

@mKeyApp

mKey app by Finserve brings both lifestyle and financial services under one interface on a smartphone. Allow me to call this 'mKey Loan App' and you'll know why later.

With mKey app , you have a keyboard with yetumojis.You can send money several mobile wallets including Mpesa, Equitel money and Airtel money. You can buy airtime for Safaricom/Equitel/Airtel/ Telkom/ Faiba.You can buy goods or pay bills. You can read news. You can get loans among other services.

As always been, am much interested in the 'Get Loan' part of it.The same way I  did with Tala,Branch ,Timiza, hf whizz and other loan apps, I also tried mKey Loans.

Getting Started with mKey app

• You'll have to download mKey app ,
• Create you account using either Google or Facebook 
• Make mKey your default keyboard 
• Confirm your phone number
• Create your passcode  

And your account is live!

Borrowing mKey Loan

• Open mKey app
• Select 'Get Loan'
• Complete the rest of the steps

I was not lucky to be awarded a loan right away. Next time I get approved , I'll update this section for all.

Information from the official mKey launch say loans range from kes300 to kes100000. From the app I saw ksh 400 to a maximum of ksh50000

If you already received a loan from mKey kindly throw in your experience in comments below.

How to Repay mKey loan

I did not get approved for a loan but i wabted to know how can one repay. I contacted mKey team for this and here is their reply;

Hi there, I hope you are having a good morning, if you are having an mkey loan and want to pay,please follow the procedure below:

• On the mKey progressive pages move to loan section,
• Choose on the pay loan icon,
• Depending on whether you want to pay partly or clear loan select on either of the icons.

Alternatively,
-From mkey keyboard choose on pay loan and follow the above procedure.

Great !
