Unlike banks which tend to be more rigid in their loaning programs, mobile loan apps are accessible to all smartphone users including the marginalized, remotely located and unbanked population.
One such mobile loan is Haraka. A loan from Haraka can be of great help if you need to settle minor problems.
Carefully follow our guide on Haraka loan application to receive your first loan allocation.
What is Haraka loan?
It is an android loan application owned by a South African lender called GetBucks.
Besides Kenya and South Africa, Haraka loan application also lends to people in Uganda, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania.
The company has helped millions of clients from different parts of the world to meet their financial needs since it was established in 2011.
Haraka app services are recognized by MFSA and NCR thereby making your money safe and secure. Getbucks has built and maintained its systems with client needs in mind.
The primary goal behind Haraka app loans is to provide affordable turnaround capital for multiple people from around the world.
However, unlike other Loan Apps in Kenya with a higher loan limit of Ksh10,000- Ksh50,000, the Haraka loan application is a low range application that lends between Ksh 500 to Ksh5,000.
While this loan limit might seem small, your loan is almost guaranteed after application.
How to apply for Haraka loan
To get a loan from Haraka, you download the app from Google Play Store.
Upon downloading the app, you are required to open an account using your Facebook account.

Ones your details are filled in, the loan app will give you the amount you are allowed to borrow (the loan limit).
The loan should be repaid within a period not exceeding 30 days. Upon choosing the loan amount and the repayment period, the loan is credited to your M-PESA account.
It is worth noting that the loan amount attracts a 23 per cent interest rate.
