Lending to the Kenyan woman, Fanikisha loans from Equity Bank.

The modern kenyan woman is more awake ad industrious than before.Majority of our mamas are in serious business,in and out of lending service providers offices not limited to comercial banks,looking for suitable loans to finance the expasion of their enterprises. Financial serie proiders should see this trend and start lending more to women than before.   
Since the Kenyan law allows females to own
properties under their own names,apart from Kenya Women Finance Trust (KWFT) which serves only women, the Equity Bank now offers a loan facility solely for women dubbed 'FANIKISHA LOANS'.
Though open to finance any personal activity, the fanikisha loans (because there are different levels) are best for business investments.There are five levels for this loan facility and they include, Fanikisha fedha loan,Fanikisha Imara loan,Fanikisha Dhahabu loan, Fanikisha Almasi loan and Fanikisha Platini loan.Apart from the specific features of each loan level, the general ones include;
.Fanikisha loans are available to only women in groups of about 7 to 30 members holding an active account with equity bank.
.The group or an individual can borrow from ksh1000 to ksh10million depending on the Fanikisha level that  one belongs to.Note that no borrower will exceed 10times their savings. 
.There are business improvement trainings and advisory services to group members.
.These loans allow a flexible repayment period ranging from 6 to 60 months.
.Loan processing and disbursement is fast provided all the necessary documents are available.This is because the bank already know the group's financial credibility.
