Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Daniels.
Why PesaMarket:
Kenya has 40+ licensed lenders competing for the same borrower, but no neutral price comparison site. The top search results for "personal loan Kenya" are the lenders themselves — each claiming to be cheapest. That's not a market, it's a sales pitch.
MoneySuperMarket, NerdWallet, and Bankrate each built billion-dollar businesses on the insight that someone has to hold lenders accountable with real numbers. That infrastructure doesn't exist in Sub-Saharan Africa. PesaMarket is an attempt to build it for East Africa, starting with Kenya.
What's live:
- 40+ lenders, every major loan category, 1,700+ comparison pages
- Proper structured data so Google surfaces real APRs, not marketing copy
- Calculators that show total cost of credit, not just monthly payments
What's next:
- Tanzania and Uganda next (same M-Pesa rails, similar lender landscape)
- User reviews tied to actual loan outcomes
- Alerts when a lender drops rates on a product you're comparing
What I need from Product Hunt:
Brutal feedback on the comparison UX. If you've ever applied for a loan in Kenya (or anywhere with a broken credit market), tell me what's missing. And if you're a lender reading this — yes, we take affiliate partnerships, contact link in the footer.
Cheers,
Daniels
