Borrowers on NCBA-owned mobile lending platform M-Shwari have been handed a relief after the lender maintained its lending rate of 7.5 percent against the backdrop of the Central Bank of Kenya raising the Central Bank Rate (CBR) from 8.75 percent to 9.5 percent last week.

The CBR is usually used as the benchmark rate for formal sector credit providers.
