So you borrowed a Vooma, huh? Here's how to return it without turning into a meme.
Ah, Vooma loans. Those handy little financial lifesavers that can get you out of a tight spot faster than you can say "avocado toast is expensive." But sometimes, repaying them can feel like trying to herd cats while wearing roller skates. Fear not, fellow Vooma voyagers, for I, your friendly neighborhood financial guru (with a slightly questionable sense of humor), am here to guide you through the repayment process like a financial sherpa navigating the treacherous Mount M-Pesa.
How To Repay Vooma Loan |
Step 1: Channel your inner accountant (but the fun kind)
First things first, you gotta figure out how much you owe. Don't worry, you don't need a degree in advanced abacus-ology. You can check your loan balance in two ways:
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.![]()
- The KCB App: Because who needs branches when you have an app, right? Just open the app, navigate to the "Loans" section, and find your Vooma loan buddy. There you'll see the outstanding balance staring back at you (don't judge, we've all been there).
- *Dial 522#: This is for the tech-savvy folks who prefer the convenience of USSD. Just dial the magic number, navigate to "Loans & Savings," then "Vooma loan," and finally, "Loan Limit Check." Boom, your balance is displayed, clear as day (or as clear as a phone screen can be, really).
Remember: This is the total amount you owe, including the principal amount (the actual loan you took) and the interest (which is basically like a tiny fee for borrowing the money).

Step 2: Become a payment ninja (with your preferred weapon)
Now that you know your target, it's time to unleash your inner repayment ninja. Here are your weapons of choice:
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.![]()
- The KCB App: This is probably the most convenient option. Just go to the "Loans" section, find your Vooma loan, and tap "Make Payment." Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
- *Dial 522#: Calling all USSD warriors! Dial the number, navigate to "Loans & Savings," then "Vooma loan," and finally, "Make Payment." Follow the prompts, and you're good to go.
- M-Pesa: For those who prefer the green wave, you can use M-Pesa to pay your Vooma loan. Just select "Lipa na M-Pesa," choose "Pay Bill," enter the Vooma Pay Bill number (you can find this on the KCB website or app), and enter your Vooma account number as the reference. Easy as, well, sending money with M-Pesa.
Important note: Make sure you're paying the correct amount to avoid any late fees (which are like the ninjas you don't want to encounter).

Step 3: Celebrate your financial victory (responsibly)
You've done it! You've conquered the Vooma and emerged victorious. Now, before you go on a celebratory shopping spree (remember, responsible repayment and all that), take a moment to appreciate your accomplishment. Maybe treat yourself to a nice cup of coffee or that extra helping of guac on your burrito. You deserve it!
Bonus Tip: While you're celebrating, consider setting up a reminder for your next Vooma repayment (if you ever need one again, that is). This will help you avoid any late fees and unnecessary stress in the future.
Remember, paying off your Vooma loan doesn't have to be a drag. With a little planning and the right tools, you can conquer your financial goals and avoid becoming the next internet meme about loan struggles. Now go forth and be financially responsible (but still have fun)!
