Zenka App Loan Repayment Period and Terms
Zenka loans have a 61-day repayment period during which clients should have cleared their full loan amounts. These loans have a 9-39% processing fee. Clients can however extend their repaying period by up to one year (12 months) with the Flexi option by Zenka. Since mobile loans do not require collateral or security in any form of their clients, the rates cover for the high risk inherent in the process.
To repay your loan, go to the app, log in, and in the menu tab select repay loan. Input the amount you wish to repay and key in your M-Pesa pin in the resulting pop-up. Early and on-time payments improve one’s credit score and can therefore access bigger loans in the future.
