You will therefore be required to pay a total of KSH. 13,600. The same amount of money however if taken and repaid in the shortest time possible, the amount will earn an interest of 25% translating to KSH. 2,500. You will therefore be required to repay a total of KSH. 12,500.

Fine on late payment

If a customer fails to repay the loan in time and fail to communicate with the lender (Okash) to re negotiate the payment term, the customer will be required to pay late payment fee of 2% of the loan balance daily until they will be able to fully repay their loan. For example, if you owe KSH. 100 and fail to repay in time, you will be required to pay 2% of this amount which translates to KSH. 2 daily until you repay the amount.
