Kenyan banks have increased interest rates on customer loans in the latest pricing cycle that will see customers deemed riskiest pay more than 20 percent, triggered by the rise in the central bank’s benchmark lending rate.

Lenders have in the past week been informing their customers about the impeding adjustments from next month that will affect both new and existing credit facilities. The new rates are being implemented across July and August.
