Market leader in Car Financing

The company has been recognized as a market leader in car financing in the year 2020. Despite the ongoing pandemic which has ravaged the economy and grounded many institutions, Mwananchi Credit has continued its lending. While receiving the award, MD Dennis Mombo thanked his employees who went above and beyond to make sure all Mwananchi Credit’s customers get their emergency loans on time. Mombo also recognized the spirit shown by Kenyans in fighting the pandemic and abiding by the MoH guidelines.
Penalty Waivers & Loan Restructures
The company has been offering customers up to 100% waivers on default charges during this difficult time of coronavirus pandemic.
”Our clients were affected by the pandemic, just like anyone else in the world, therefore punishing them for an unprecedented virus would have been wrong and unfair. Our tagline is an investor in people and at times like this we need to live by it,” the Managing Director said.
