Here are the three types of co-operative bank mobile loans:
1. Secured Personal Loans
“These loans go to a limit of up to Sh. 200,000 for any customer with savings in MCoop Cash based on their amount of savings,” says the bank in a statement.
Interestingly, this means that all you need to do is download the mobile app, deposit money and apply for the loan through your smart mobile phone. The loan you apply for will be processed and tendered to you immediately.
