Independent Branch Kenya guide: check the microfinance bank, app permissions, written loan offer and total repayment.

Independent editorial profile

This provider has not paid for this profile. The LendPlus button opens a different lender and is an advertising link. Check the actual lender, fees and total repayment before borrowing.

Branch's Kenya loan channel

Branch's Kenya help page explains that borrowers use the Branch app to view available loan offers. Its Kenya legal terms identify Branch Microfinance Bank Limited as the lender. That differs from a non-deposit-taking digital credit provider, so check the correct legal name and product when comparing lists.

What the app asks for

Branch says it uses personal and phone information to assess eligibility. Read the current privacy information and app permissions before proceeding. Once an offer appears, review the amount received, rate basis, any required cover or other fees, payment dates and total repayment. Keep the contract and use Branch's official support channel if a charge is unclear.

Compare with a bank or another app

Branch combines mobile access with a microfinance bank account and wallet. A traditional bank loan or another app may use a different account requirement and repayment plan. Compare written totals for the same amount and timing. The offer shown to one customer may differ from another customer's.
