LOOP, a unique app that simplifies financial management by combining banking, transactions, budgeting, and savings in one place, deployed a new User Interface (UI) on Monday, February 17, 2025, further bringing more convenience to users of the lifestyle app.
The new interface has been designed to provide a fresh look and a significantly improved user experience on the Pay, Grow, and Discover pages.
The refreshed design aligns with LOOP’s brand values, offering a clean, contemporary interface that enhances usability based on user feedback.
Pay
The Pay Page lives up to its name in the new design, simplifying payment methods for users by bringing together all the payment methods they may need to utilise.
A unique feature of the new UI is the Recurring Transfers option, which makes it easier for users to pay utilities and other recurring bills. Without the clutter of the old version, the new UI consolidates the Bills and Subscriptions option into a single click. Users can easily add new bills here.
For payment through MPesa, users can still access the Lipa na MPesa, Send Money, and Buy Airtime options on the refurbished page. They can also access their Bank Cards on this page and pay for LOOP Biz. In the new version, users are immediately directed to the keyboard feature instead of choosing a money service first.
Grow
The new Grow Page includes the Overdraft and Term Loan options. Under the Overdraft option, users’ loan/offered limits are clearly displayed, as well as their outstanding loans. This is a significant improvement over the old UI, which only displayed the amount owed.
Another unique feature on this page is the Term Loans option, which displays both the limit and amount owed for 30-day quick loans. A Buy-Now-Pay-Later limit is also shown on this page under LOOP Flex.
Discover
Unlike the old UI, where the Discover page was cluttered, the new page simplifies the user experience by adopting the usability of a shopping app.
The remodel still offers Hot Deals by LOOP, but items are now listed in a more convenient horizontal/swipe manner, rather than the previous vertical/scroll format.
The items are categorised according to their usage and the services they offer, such as electronics, furniture, etc. Users can also explore the All feature for top deals.
How LOOP Works
The LOOP App is the ultimate financial partner that brings together buyers and sellers. It also enables users to seamlessly reach their financial goals by incorporating all payment, credit, and saving services.
Once users have registered on the app, they can link up to five virtual bank cards for easy mobile banking while also accessing Mobile Money services like MPesa payments. One can also link up to five virtual LOOP cards.
Buyers can obtain goods and services from sellers on the app, while sellers have the opportunity to connect with customers and expand the reach of their wares.
If needed, LOOP also offers access to up to KSh 100,000 in LOOP Overdraft whenever users need more than they have in their LOOP Account. It also allows users to invest through the LOOP Invest feature.
The app is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
