The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has finally cleared a Safaricom-backed zero-interest credit service for the purchase of goods for up to Sh100,000 after initially blocking the product that is expected to disrupt the mobile loans market.

The product dubbed Faraja will be launched later this month, ending nearly a year of waiting for regulatory clearance.
