TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

Total Cost of Credit Website (www.costofcredit.co.ke)

1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the Total Cost of Credit website (the “Site”). The Site is operated by the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) in partnership with the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) as part of a joint initiative to promote transparency, comparability, and consumer understanding of the cost of credit in Kenya.

By accessing, browsing, or using this Site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not access or use the Site.

KBA reserves the right to revise or update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Purpose of the Site

The Site provides an indicative Total Cost of Credit (TCC) calculator and related informational content to assist users in understanding and comparing the probable cost of credit offered by banks and microfinance banks in Kenya.

The Site is intended solely for informational and educational purposes. It does not constitute an offer, quotation, recommendation, or solicitation for any financial product or service.

3. Credit Pricing Framework (KESONIA)

The loan cost estimates and comparisons displayed on the Site are based on the Kenya Shilling Overnight Interbank Average (KESONIA) and, where applicable, the Central Bank Rate (CBR), together with indicative lender-specific margins, fees, and charges applied in accordance with the prevailing regulatory framework and Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) guidelines.

KESONIA is a transaction-based benchmark rate that reflects the average interest rate at which banks in Kenya lend and borrow unsecured overnight funds in Kenyan Shillings. The CBK serves as the official administrator of KESONIA.

The Site reflects the application of risk-based pricing, whereby the final cost of credit incorporates borrower-specific risk assessments in addition to the applicable reference rate. Factors influencing risk-based pricing may include, but are not limited to, the borrower’s credit profile, repayment history, collateral, loan tenure, product type, and other lender-specific considerations.

The Site applies KESONIA, CBR, and other indicative inputs solely for the purpose of illustrating the potential total cost of credit under the prevailing credit pricing framework. All outputs are indicative and non-binding. Actual loan pricing may vary across lenders and borrowers due to changes in reference rates, risk assessments, fees, charges, and other commercial or regulatory considerations.

4. Use of the Calculator and Outputs

All calculator outputs generated on the Site are indicative, non-binding estimates only. They do not represent final loan terms or guaranteed pricing.
