“Our goal with the SC Juza Mobile Loan App is to provide a reliable and flexible financial tool that meets the needs of Kenyans from all walks of life. Whether you are salaried or self-employed, our app is designed to help you access the funds you need quickly and easily,” he said.

Further, he said the lender is keen on leveraging technology to improve its financial inclusion modules.

The lender says this will give borrowers ample time to manage their finances and repay their loans comfortably.
