With this proposition, Solo Biz owners now have access to digital Unsecured Business Loans, Stock Financing, LPO financing and ‘Lipa na’ I&M Bank Paybill/Till number on our App.”


I&M Bank Kenya CEO, Gul Khan, in a statement, emphasized the significance of supporting small businesses.

Muhati further pointed out that small business owners are the heartbeat of the economy and contribute to over 80% of the employment in the country.
He noted that small business owners are conscious of each coin they spend as they seek to generate maximum business value for their hustles.
