Frequently asked questions
1. Branch Kenya inatoa mkopo wa kiasi gani?
Mkopo wa kwanza: KES 250-1,000 (kulingana na data ya simu yako). Baada ya kulipa vizuri mara 3-5: hadi KES 70,000. Watumiaji wa muda mrefu (miaka 1+): hadi KES 500,000 (adimu, kwa watumiaji bora). Wastani wa mkopaji wa Kenya: KES 3,000-15,000.
2. Riba ya Branch ni kiasi gani?
Branch hutumia facility fee badala ya riba ya kawaida: (1) Mkopo wa siku 4-28: 3-12% flat fee. (2) Mkopo wa siku 62 (mwezi 2): 15-28% flat fee. (3) Mfano: KES 10,000 kwa siku 28 = KES 800-1,200 fee = kurudisha KES 10,800-11,200. (4) Riba ya kweli (APR): 156-312% kwa mwaka. Branch haionyeshi APR — inaonyesha flat fee tu.
3. Je, Branch inaathiri CRB yangu?
Ndiyo: (1) Branch inaripoti kwa CRB (TransUnion na Metropol). (2) Kulipa kwa wakati = alama nzuri ya CRB. (3) Kuchelewa siku 1+ = negative report kwenye CRB. (4) Default (kutolipa) = CRB listing — unazuiwa kupata mkopo wowote kwa miaka 5. (5) Branch inatumia CRB + data ya simu kuamua kikomo chako — kwa hivyo alama yako ya CRB inathiri kiasi utakachopata.
4. Branch vs Tala — ipi bora?
Ulinganishi: Riba: Branch (3-12% siku 28) vs Tala (5-15% siku 21-30) — Branch ni nafuu kidogo. Kikomo: Branch (hadi KES 500K) vs Tala (hadi KES 50K) — Branch iko juu zaidi. Muda: Branch (siku 4-62) vs Tala (siku 21-30) — Branch ina flexibility zaidi. Kasi: Zote mbili masaa 1-24. CRB: Zote mbili zinaripoti.
