Option 2 - The fund has to raise it’s interest rate to recoup losses on each 14-day product (8% per loan vs 8% per annum will be interesting to watch here)

Option 3 - The fund is about to loose a lot of money very quickly.

What do you think?

What does this mean? Three options:
Option 1 - The fund cannot allocate much money to this direct to consumer product and will lend to intermediaries, where it can guarantee better repayment rates.

If GoK pulls a miracle and manages 95% repayment rates, beating most of the highest venture capital backed digital lending startups in Kenya, 25bn is still lost within 30 weeks.

If GoK manages a conservatively optimistic 75% repayment rate on the Hustler Fund loans, the fund will have lost 90% of their money in 16 weeks.
99% of the money is gone by week 30.

We’ve heard that the Hustler Fund plans a direct to consumer product that will be offered at 8% per annum at 14 days.

That means a 0.31% effective interest rate on each 14 day loan - the 14 day’s share of the 8% yearly interest rate.

On this assumption, the fund will gain only 0.31% for each 14 day-loan repaid. The fund will loose all the money that is not repaid to it, or defaults.

If people default on more than 0.31% of the loans, the fund will loose money on each loan cycle.

Unsecured short term digital loans are not new - tech-only industry leaders generally achieve between 70% and 90% repayments on short-term digital loan products in Kenya.

Simon Chelugui| 5% of the hustler fund loans you take will go to a separate saving account, where the government will give one shilling for every 2 shillings as incentive. The loan serviced at 8% per annum will be accessed through the three main telcos, and will require no securities or collateral.
