Okolea in Kiswahili means ‘save me’ and that’s what the okolea loan app literary does.

Trust me..I have interacted with many mobile loan apps and very few can match Okolea friendly features and tons of benefits..

This article will help you download the okolea loan app and borrow an instant MPESA loan.

But first, here is why I love the Okolea app

Why you should borrow from the Okolea Loan App

1. Automatic Loan Limits

With some loan apps, getting your loan limit raised will take some kind of magic or so it seems.

And I know it deeply hurts.

You have been working hard to borrow and repay religiously but the system won’t advance you more than shs.1000…..

Some are even daring and reduce (how daring!) your allowable loan amount suddenly..

Not so Okolea…

Every time you repay a loan on time, you’re awarded an automatic 20% loan limit increase.

And you know what?

They can adjust it up to a staggering shs.250000 as long as you keep your end of the bargain…

That’s super cool!

2.   You can borrow multiple loans

With Okolea, you’re allowed to borrow a fresh loan even before clearing your previous credit provided you’re still within your loan limit.

Let’s say you had a shs.2000 loan and your limit is shs.5000.

And sadly, you have encountered a new emergency.

Okolea allows you to borrow another shs.3000 even as the shs.2000 outstands.

Well, very few apps permit this.

3.   Lower interest rate

The interest rate is just 0.5% per day on average so they won’t impoverish you.

To put this in context, if you apply for a shs.1000 loan and pay back in 7 days, your interest will be about 0.5%x1000x7=shs.35!

That’s peanuts if you consider the charges other apps levy.

In a nutshell, Okolea is hands down one of the cheapest loan apps in Kenya today.

Can you now see why this app is so highly rated?

Let’s now look at how to download and apply for your first loan from the exciting Okolea loan app..

The finance sector is teeming with loan apps. Some are quite popular mainly because they were pioneers- Tala, Branch, and a few others belong to this category.

And then we have the upcoming ones which tend to offer more flexible terms and additional benefits such as accelerated loan limit increases.

Okolea loan app belongs to this category and as you have seen, it’s a fantastic app to have just in case you may run into financial headwinds.
