They will. Equity has just announced that over and above the interest rate, there is an appraisal fee based on the tenor of the loan.

The thing is either way you look at it....it will still be cheaper than what they were charging before the cap.

KCBMpesa actually has stopped lending while Equity has reduced loan limits.

M-shwari with their high rates will continue to dominate, they knoe guys who take the loans take them because they need the money immediately and are in need, you can actually ask for an mshwari loan while a supermarket cashier is scanning your goods and get it by the time they ask you to pay, KCB is a kujaribu, most guys try KCB first it takes so long that they end up going to mshwari, equity is another story, you need either a dual sim phone or a separate phone, for withdrawal I see most guys sending the loan cash from their equitel to saf and withdraw from mpesa.
For most kenyans mobile loans are not about cost but accessibility

Spot on!For Equity I was told I need a new sim and I dont have a dual sim phone.KCB I requested on Friday na sijapata bado!I once almost got listed after my 2K disappeared after a loan repayment. I got into an argument with them saying Safcom had not sent the money to them...meanwhile I was getting threatening calls.I'd rather MShwari...more predictable and accessible.

Yes they have...from 30K to zero and with no communication even. As is, one can only borrow mshwari given KCB is also out of the loan game for now.
I still think interest capping is a mistake.
Accessing unsecured loans right now is impossible..so what happens to us juakali people with no assets to secure?
