Quick Answers

Debt Payoff FAQs

How do extra monthly payments reduce total loan interest?

Extra monthly payments go directly toward reducing the loan's principal balance on reducing balance facilities, which immediately lowers the interest charged in subsequent billing cycles and accelerates payoff time.

Do Kenyan banks charge early repayment penalties?

Under Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) prudential guidelines and the Consumer Protection Act, many retail loan facilities allow early principal reduction without hefty penalties, but it is important to check your specific loan agreement terms.
