How to Acquire Mobile Loan Without App in 2022

Mobile loan without app

Loans in Kenya have become synonymous with application installation where you have to own a smartphone install the application and then check if you are eligible for the loan.

If you are eligible then you can go ahead and request a loan.

And as this century has been characterized as the dawn of technological advancement, not everyone has been able to adapt to these changes. This is because these innovations do come at a price and not everyone may be able to accommodate this.

With the ongoing pandemic, Corona Virus disease has seen to it that most Kenyans have lost their jobs. This followed a spiraling downfall of the country’s economy.

Several residents of Nairobi have had to go back to their rural areas due to a lack of survival means in the capital. However, Safaricom has come to the rescue of the common mwananchi. You can now own a smartphone with as little as Ksh. 20.

This is such a relief as many Kenyans, especially they lower cadre ones, who do not own smartphones are locked out.

Statistics show that about 5 million Kenyans own button phones which are popularly known as mulika mwizi.
