Is the “long month” getting longer? In Kenya, the stretch between the 15th and payday can feel relentless — especially when an urgent medical bill, school fees, or a time-sensitive business opportunity arrives without warning. Waiting for HR to process payroll simply isn’t always an option.
At Fincorp Credit, we understand that financial emergencies don’t operate on a salary schedule. Our Mshahara Loans — salary-secured credit facilities — are designed to close that gap, giving salaried employees access to up to Kes 2,000,000, processed in as little as 6 hours.
What exactly is a Mshahara Loan?
A Mshahara loan is a specialised credit facility built exclusively for employed and salaried individuals. Unlike conventional personal loans that involve weeks of paperwork, Fincorp’s Mshahara Loan uses two simple anchors as security: your payslip and your motor vehicle logbook.
The result? You unlock funding based on your vehicle’s current market value — and crucially, you keep driving it throughout the entire loan term.
“You get the cash you need based on the value of your vehicle, while maintaining your daily mobility.”

Frequently asked questions
How much can I borrow against my logbook?
You can borrow up to a specific percentage of your vehicle’s current market value, within a range of Kes 100,000 to Kes 2,000,000. The exact amount depends on your car’s valuation and your employment income profile.
Can I access more than Kes 2 million?
Yes — you are not limited to a single logbook. If you require more capital, you can leverage multiple vehicles to reach the maximum funding your business or personal project requires.
Do I need a guarantor?
In most cases, no. If the vehicle used as collateral is registered in your own name, a guarantor is not required. A guarantor is typically needed only when the logbook is registered under a different person’s name.
What if my car does not have comprehensive insurance?
No problem. Fincorp Credit can finance your comprehensive insurance premium as part of your loan package, so it does not block or delay your application.
