So Fuliza has an Access fee of 1% on the amount of the transaction and a daily fee.  In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

The real isssue here is not that Banks are finding new ways to advance loans while distributing risk, it is whether or not the lending is being used to advance loans that are designed to attract penalties, effectively circumventing the interest rates cap. I.e. the one day loan is at 13% per annum but penalties if you don't pay by midnight are another 13%. This is not an actual default as you pay the next day. However, the penalty may yield another 13% annualized charge. Interesting angle here.

This mobile loan space is occupied by banks using personal loans and MFI products are restrictive and they don't have the capital to serve the masses. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

People asking for regulation over private money!! It will be illegal for CBK to regulate non-bank and non deposit taking institutions loans. Next people will ask CBK to regulate butchery debts.
Mobile loans are simply Shylock's who have taken computer and mobile lessons.
It is already very difficult for CBK to regulate and reign in banks; adding another regulatory layer is nonsensical and not enforceable.
Because CBK would rather focus on monetary and economic stability, investor confidence etc than herding bus-fare seeking masses.

However, whatever rate Safaricom then charges to the final borrower woukd not be capped at 13% p.a. the first advance to Scom would appear in CBK reporting as a bulk formal loan.

As such, if mobile lending rates were captured as part of bank lending, the bank lending rate is definitely not 13%. If the lender is the bank, then there is NO way they can lend at above 13% without running afoul of the law. There are many requirements for a bank to advance loans, inclusing FULL disclosure of the Toal Cost of Credit (akin to APR in Western markets). This is not the case for these new digital offerings. I am not sure about the underlying risk-sharing agreements, but if Safcom is the one running the big data analytics and making a call on one's credit limit, then I believe they would be required to assume the bulk of the risk for the final loan advances. The banks are taking risk on Safaricom, not the regular raia at the end of the chain. I doubt SCOM would even disclose their customer behavioural data or analytic algirithms to ANY external party. My thoughts though.

No way Gavna would collude with any market player. The law covered interest, NOT charges. That is why you will see banks' net interest income down or flat while non-interest income is up.

Already they have sent me 'my' fuliza limit and adjusted twice upwards yet i have not accessed/used the service. This is the only serious company in Kenya. Rest are bongo lala .... including once serious Equity Bank. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

What you need to know is that there will most probably be far much lower defaults on mobile loans as compared to "normal" loans. familiarize yourself with data analytics, data science, big data etc. And while at it, ask yourself why CBA chose to work with Safaricom instead of simply doing their own app!

Let other fellows and companies perambulate as Safcom is making use of cutting edge technology to come up with new products that fellows and companies oblivious of the technology keep saying is not possible even as it is being done. I can tell you for a fact that R & D at safaricom is at another level. No other company comes close in the region let alone in the country. It is organised, well thought out, extremely well funded, proper working groups and reporting structures etc. And they get very handsome returns for their effort and investment.
