Digital and mobile app money lenders in Kenya have been given until the end of September to either apply for an operating licence or cease operations.
The Central Bank of Kenya Governor Peter Njoroge says regulations governing the lenders will be gazetted later this month, meaning all the apps will be regulated by the government.
