So far this is the best Loan app in Kenya, with a reasonable interest rate that is based on the principal amount and the payment period that is calculated as per what one needs. I have been using it for 5 years now, the only disappointment is that there is a maximum loan limit of 40,000/- that the lender can give. Everything else about the app is dope from the UI/UX design to the last detail.

so I decided to try Tala and while filling in my info trying to apply for a loan they told me my details have been registered to another account.....I've tried contacting them but no response at all...all I heard from them is they'll get back to me in 24hrs and 3days are already over..and there's no way I can even delete my details on the app...such a nightmare..
