Your Trusted Financial Partner Since 2012
Welcome to Mkopo Express, a leading online lending company serving East and South African countries. Founded in 2012 in Kenya, we began with a simple mission: to provide accessible financial solutions to small-scale entrepreneurs who were underserved by traditional banking systems.
Today, Mkopo Express has grown beyond our Kenyan roots to become a trusted financial partner across multiple African nations. We leverage cutting-edge technology to offer fast, convenient, and reliable loan services that empower individuals and businesses to achieve their goals.
Our innovative approach eliminates the need for office visits, allowing clients to register, apply, and track their loans entirely online. This streamlined process means emergency funds can be in your account in as little as 15 minutes, providing timely support when you need it most.
