04Borrower stories
I applied on a Tuesday and had stock money in my M-Pesa by Thursday. My salon in Githurai has doubled its chairs since then.
Other lenders wanted my logbook for a small loan. Maliquest looked at my business record instead. That respect is why I came back for a second loan.
The repayment schedule matched my market days. Nobody had ever asked me when my money actually comes in before.
