Loan Safety & Consumer Protection

Protect yourself when borrowing in Kenya. Know your legal rights under CBK Digital Credit Providers Regulations 2022, how to report harassment, and how to avoid loan scams.

Our Loan Safety guides help you navigate consumer protection when borrowing in Kenya. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) enforces strict regulations on digital credit providers, and as a borrower you have legal rights that protect you from harassment, unfair practices, and privacy violations.

Understanding the CBK Digital Credit Providers Regulations 2022 is essential for every borrower. These regulations require all digital lenders to be licensed, cap certain fees, and prohibit abusive debt collection tactics. The Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 further safeguards your personal information from being misused by lenders.
