Loan Apps That Will Charge Daily Penalty Fees

zenka and okash

As the Kenyan economy continues to deteriorate, majority of its citizens find themselves dependent on mobile loans for their sustenance.

While accessing the loans can be said to be a walk in the park, their actual repayment can be at times cumbersome which often lead to loan defaults.

A loan default refers to the inability to make a loan repayment within its due date.

While various lenders have different approaches to such a scenario eg numerous calls accompanied by sms messages from different numbers, calls to contact lists, threats of demand letters and crb blacklisting.

Some go the extra mile and actually penalize borrowers with outstanding loan balances by charging them a fee for each day that they will have defaulted.

Take for an example you take a loan of Ksh 5000 to be due after 30 days. If you will not have made any payment by the 31st day, you will incur a charge of 1% on the principal amount. i.e you will be penalized Ksh 50 per day.

Lets say, you delay for a week that is Ksh 750, a month Ksh 1500, a year Ksh 18,300.

In short, you will have no option but to make repayment earliest as possible to avoid accruing the penalty fees to future un-manageable amounts.

Below, we have some of the mobile lenders who have adopted this strategy and you should think twice before defaulting on their loans.
