Today, obtaining credit has become much more convenient owing to the acceleration of mobile loans. These are loans that you get into your phone via M-PESA. Such an instance is the Equitel Eazzy loan from Equity Bank Limited.
If you have perpetually questioned how to access the Eazzy credit, read on and know all regarding this Eazzy loan application process.
Requirements for using the Equitel Eazzy loan
So, can anyone apply for the Eazzy loan?
Well, any Kenyan becomes eligible to apply for the Equitel Eazzy loan if they have an active bank account with Equity Bank Limited.
The term active in this case implies that you must have transacted through your equity account over the past six months when applying for the loan.
Another condition that should be fulfilled before applying for the Eazzy loan, is an Equitel SIM card on your mobile phone.
You can acquire an Equitel SIM card from any Equity Bank branch near you or even from Equity agents across Kenya.
All you need is an original national identity card for Kenyan citizens or an original valid passport, original & valid alien card and a valid work permit for foreigners.

The main difference is that for the Eazzy loan, you can obtain any amount between Ksh100 and Ksh200,000 while for the Eazzy plus loan, you can acquire up to Ksh3,000,000.
The next big difference between these two types of loans also reveals itself in the form of the loan repayment period.
