Zenka loan app is one of the loan disbursement mobile application in Kenya developed by Zenka. The app currently offers personal loans which range from Ksh 500 to Ksh 20,000 on android smartphone and Ksh 500 to Ksh 10,000 via USSD.
The best thing about the Zenka loan app is that the first loan is interest-free. That is to say; if you borrow Ksh 500 for the first time, you will repay the same amount.
Isn’t this cool? In addition to that, you get to access and borrow a Zenka loan without using a smartphone.
So, we at Urban Kenyans have carefully reviewed the app, and we can say with much confidence that it is the best loan app next to Tala loan.
This conclusion comes after we checked the reviews on the Google Play store and customer feedback on their Facebook page.
