Borrower responsibilities

  • Make repayments according to the agreed schedule.
  • Communicate early if you anticipate a repayment challenge.
  • Maintain honest communication with your loan officer and guarantors.
  • Honour all terms accepted at disbursement.
  • Keep your contact and business information current.

Fair recovery process

When an account falls overdue, Kisem follows a structured process that may include reminders, discussion of the situation, guarantor engagement, recovery of pledged security and legal action where required.

Our objective is early communication and a professional resolution that respects the signed agreement and Ugandan law.

Important

Read and understand every term before signing.

Ask about the approved amount, all charges, repayment dates, security, guarantor obligations and consequences of late payment.
