NOTE:

The published interest rates by the Central Bank of Kenya are the average weighted lending rates for each type of loan product and the overall average weighted lending rates for each bank as at the end of a specified time period. As a result, the actual rates charged by the banks may be higher or lower than the published average rates. The actual rates are based on negotiations between the bank and the borrowing customers.

It should be noted that the published interest rates only constitute banks’ lending rates. Over and above these rates, banks may levy other fees and charges, including administration fees, processing fees, valuation fees, legal fees and commitment fees, among others. Therefore the effective rates charged by individual banks may be higher than these published interest rates depending on the other fees and charges levied on loan products by the specific bank.
