The Michuki rules have made it easier for new entrants to break into what used to be a murky sector – and NIC has been the financier of choice. The Bank has allocated the PSV sector 35% of its asset finance portfolio. According to the Bank’s head of asset finance, Edna Kihara, the minimum loan amount is 300,000 and with loans processed within 48 hours, has proved to be very popular.
