Okolea International Launches Instant Loans To Bank Option

Okolea loan app is renowned as a Kenyan credit enterprise that has been on the forefront in providing instant loans to Kenyans, to cater to both business and personal financial needs. This has seen the app become a leading player in the market due to its responsible lending culture and sizable limits to its diverse clientele.

Okolea customers will now be able to access their loans directly and instantly into their bank accounts thanks to the advancement made in the banking sector. Previously Okolea customers could only get their loans sent to their Mpesa wallets.

With the maximum amount of loan disbursed per person being Sh 250,000, Mpesa limit cap makes it hard for top Okolea customers to receive their loans seamlessly. “We created the banking option to solve this problem on top of giving our customers more options regarding where they would want to receive their money. This is particularly is useful to business people who use cheques to pay suppliers,” asserts Mr. Muraya.

Research by FSD Kenya says, about 6.5 million Kenyans are digital borrowers, who borrow to meet basic needs as well as replenish stocks in small businesses. These were the main reasons for digital borrowing. This clearly shows digital lenders like Okolea has a role to play in deepening financial inclusion in this country and beyond.

Speaking to their CEO Mr. Peter Muraya he said “Okolea recognizes responsible lending is key for sustainable growth and launched multiple loans to ensure clients borrow only what they need at a time. This feature has proven popular, leading it to be adopted now in leading banks and telecoms,” avows Mr. Muraya.

Okolea has previously allowed their customers to borrow up to three times but within their assigned limit, a feature meant to encourage customers to only borrow what they need at a time.
