Agent network

Local agents who know their community make smarter lending decisions than any algorithm.

Skin in the game

Every agent posts a security deposit that backs the loans they issue — accountability built in.

Dual disbursement

Direct bank transfers for banked customers, cash-via-agent with USSD confirmation for everyone else.

USSD for all phones

Customers confirm disbursements and repayments from any phone — no smartphone required.

How Kesse works

A simple loop that aligns everyone's incentives — from the platform to the agent to the borrower.

01

Agent onboarding

Admin verifies the agent and sets a lending cap from their deposit.

02

Customer KYC

The agent onboards customers using local knowledge and ID checks.

03

Approve & disburse

Loans are approved against the cap and funds reach the customer in minutes.

04

Repay & grow

On-time repayment raises caps and credit scores across the network.
