Methodology: how we compare loans in Kenya
We publish our criteria so users can audit why something is recommended. Our goal is clarity and responsible borrowing — not hype.
1) Cost transparency
We prioritize offers where the total repayment cost is easy to understand (fees, interest, penalties).
2) Eligibility and fit
We try to match you to realistic options based on requested amount/term and affordability fields.
3) Responsible borrowing
We surface warnings when costs look high for short terms and encourage smaller amounts and safer alternatives when appropriate.
Affiliate disclosure
Some lenders may compensate us when you click or apply. This helps us keep the service free. Commission does not automatically override user-fit; it is only a tie-breaker when two options are otherwise equal.
