How Much Can I Borrow from Hustler Fund?

Quick answer: The Hustler Fund personal loan lends from KES 100 up to KES 50,000. First-time and early limits are small, and they grow as you borrow and repay on time. There are also a group product (up to KES 1 million for eligible registered groups) and a bridge product (up to three times your assessed personal limit). The personal loan charges 8% per year, prorated daily, over an initial 14-day term.

Your personal limit

The personal product ranges from KES 100 to KES 50,000, but your own limit is set individually and starts low. It rises with a history of borrowing and repaying on time, so consistent repayment is the way to unlock more. Of each disbursement, 95% goes to your wallet and 5% to a savings account in your name, which is not a fee.

How to increase it

Borrow and repay on time, repay before the 14-day term ends, and use the fund regularly. The bridge loan can give up to three times your assessed personal limit, and registered groups can access the larger group product. For more on raising your cap see the maximum Hustler Fund limit.

The cost of borrowing

The personal loan charges 8% per year, prorated daily, so you only pay for the days you borrow, rising to 9.5% a year if you miss the 14-day term. That makes it one of the cheapest options in Kenya, as our guide to the lowest-rate loan apps shows. Compare it with M-Shwari in Hustler Fund vs M-Shwari.
