Quick Answers
Personal Loan FAQs
What is reducing balance vs flat rate interest in Kenya?
On a reducing balance loan, interest is calculated only on the remaining unpaid principal each month, reducing your total interest cost over time. On a flat rate loan, interest is calculated on the original total borrowed amount throughout the loan tenure, making it significantly more expensive.
What additional fees should I expect on a bank loan in Kenya?
Typical Kenyan bank personal loans include loan processing fees (usually 1.5% to 3%), credit life insurance (approx 0.5% - 1% annually), excise duty on bank fees (20%), and statutory stamp duty.
