mKey digital banking service Transaction Costs and How to Apply, get Approved for a Loan

mKey is a digital banking service unveiled by Equity bank’s sister company – Finserve Africa a few months ago that works just like other loan apps in existence. It runs on android operating system and touts to include additional functionality in comparison with similar services on the market including chatting with friends, paying bills, reading news, applying for loans and saving. The app which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store has an inbuilt keyboard through which users can access custom emojis and Gifs that users may use while chatting with others.

 While mKey is meant for loan applications; it comes with additional related features that let users complete several transactions on the app rather than having to transfer money to different mobile wallets or even withdraw before paying utility bills,purchasing airtime or even shopping. And if you don’t need the loan facility, mKey accounts, can be topped up using Mpesa, Equitel or deposits through Equity bank agents. While we expect the service to even support diaspora remittances at a later date, mKey is pretty feature rich in comparison with similar android loan apps.

How to apply for an mKey Loan

To be precise, mKey has a mobile wallet account that’s not linked to your bank account and allows users to buy airtime, buy goods, pay bills, send money via social media and save.

  • As with any other loan app, users first need to have an android phone, then download the app from Google’s Play Store
  • Once you’ve installed the mKey app, you’ll need to provide some details through a simple registration process. To do this, You’ll need a Facebook or a Google account.
