Our offices are spread throughout the country. ( see Our Network and Contact pages). We have made every effort to bring our services as close to you as possible.
5. What kind of security does KWFT require?
We are aware women do not normally have conventional collateral like title deeds. KWFT therefore provideds social collateral loans. However, ib cases where the loan amount is large, we may require conventional securities.
6. Does KWFT lend to business start-ups?
KWFT normally finances businesses that have been in existence for at least one year. The track record of a business is very important in determining the ability to service a loan. We have now introduced a start up loan for those who want to start their own businesses. For details check on the Products and Services page
