Zenka loan apk/ app download:

Zenka loan app is the latest Kenya’s microloan lending app developed by Zenka Kenya. 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.

Zenka Loan Application Tips for Approval

There are a few basics you can follow for fast approval of your mobile loan application. There are quite many loan apps in Kenya including Pezesha, Tala, Stawi, Haraka, and many many more.

Some of these apps may have already blacklisted you or denied you a loan because of something you did. Here are important tips for getting a Zenka loan approved easily and fast.

  • Make sure your name is cleared by Kenya’s credit reference bureaus. Zenka works with 3 of these in Kenya, including Metropol, TransUnion and CreditInfo. If you’re listed here, you may not be approved for a loan on most loan apps in Kenya.
  • Use a device that has never been used before to apply for a loan from Zenka. Mobile loan companies store device information and associate them with the first registrant.
  • Build your credit score by paying your loan on time. This builds confidence, giving you access to higher loan amounts of up to Ksh. 20,000 on this app.
  • Ensure you allow access to your data when installing and registering. This allows the app to access vital information about you.

These tips are important if you want a fast loan without collateral.

Does Zenka Have a Referral Program?

According to the app, you can earn Ksh. 200 when you invite friends. The qualification, however, is that you earn the credit whenever they repay their first loan on the app.

You’re given a promo code you can use to invite friends with. Once they use the promo code to sign up and request a loan, you become eligible on their referral rewards program. You could earn Ksh. 200 when they repay the loan.
