Problem
Kenyan consumers and business owners face a fragmented financial services market where comparing loans, savings accounts, insurance policies, and credit cards requires visiting multiple bank branches or navigating scattered online sources. This makes it difficult to make informed financial decisions, often leading to suboptimal choices or missed opportunities for better rates and terms.
