Owing to the prevailing conditions banks have increased the interest rates on new and existing loans. In 2012 same thing happened and many Kenyans were not aware until later on going to confirm loan balances and found high balances. Having been victim my loan was increased by 4months. I found it prudent to have this thread to help us in knowing what various banks would be charging on loans & other products and the effects. Ericsson WroteStanchart increases interest rate on loans in Kenya shillings to 27% effective 19 November 2015. The payment amount will remain the same but tenure will be increased by 22 months. Everybody STEALS, a THIEF is one who's CAUGHT stealing something of LITTLE VALUE. !!!

Not unless it's a 15 year mortgage that has existed for less than 3 years, mimi hiyo silipi! Surely the loan is btwn 5M - 10M with repayment period above 72 months. Interest having jumped from 18-20% to a whopping 27%. 4M at 20% in 72 months after increasing to 27% with less than 3 months payment results in 10-12 months increase in repayment period.

If you have a loan of 500k with repayment period 2yrs and above and the rates remain high for longer period, then expect tenure increase of about 6 months and above. Banks have increased rates by 5-7%. Let's wait for each affected customer to say their particular experience. Everybody STEALS, a THIEF is one who's CAUGHT stealing something of LITTLE VALUE. !!!

I warned my brother in law against taking a 30 year mortgage 2 years ago, now I see a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth... For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases ~ WB

However the bank recently wrote to me that the rates have gone up and that they have extended the repayment period. They also said the credit card interest has also been hiked. This govt is really messing up our lives. They should be thrown out in 2017 since it seems economy will only get worse.

Barclays bank said it would be charging 3.9 per cent per month up from 3.7 per cent on amounts used on the card for purchase of goods if not settled within the grace period.
NIC increased over-the-counter withdrawal fees in a move meant to push its clients to use ATM machines, among other channels of accessing cash.
The bank charges Sh300 for withdrawal of less than Sh40,000 in the banking hall compared to Sh100 charged for withdrawing more than Sh40,000, which is the maximum amount accessible through ATMs.
CBA introduced a fee of Sh350 for withdrawing less than Sh40,000 at the counter while anything above this is free. Standard Chartered introduced monthly tariffs to some of its personal accounts which were previously exempt. The bank’s monthly tariffs are between Sh499 and Sh1,000.

Unacheka kwa mazishi @Boris??? Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
