Let's first look at the loan limits and interest rates from Zenka as a short term lender.

 Zenka provide loans from 500 to 100,000. Any approved loan is quickly deposited to the customer's M-Pesa account. 

What is Zenka first loan limit? This is the first time loan a customer can secure via Zenka app. It's totally different from Zenka minimum loan limit.

Some customers get a Zenka loan limit of 5000 or 50000 as first time loans. However,the majority of borrowers get the minimum loan limit at 500.

A customer is allowed to use the amount borrowed to solve any financial need including emergencies for example hospital bills,rent, school fees or working capital.

But what are the interest rates? Zenka loan interest rates is between 9% - 30% risk based charged once. 

What is risk based interest rate? Zenka access each customer's risk level before attaching a certain interest rate on the loan borrowed by that particular customer. 

A customer with a good credit score (low risk customer), the interest rate can be as low as 9% while a high risk customer's interest rate can be as high as 30% .

  4. I saw that You have written about Zenka so You are familiar with the topic:
    There's a lot of noise on FB and other socials that Zenka gives now free loans as many time as You want till end of the year. Can You prove it as proffessional journalist? Is it possible or it is some fake and they charge with some hidden costs?
    I saw for example Gidi Gidi and Alex Mwakideu talking about it :/
