Kenyans can now acquire a GOtv decoder on credit from M-Shwari in a timely move that will ensure they catch the 2014 FIFA World Cup action live from Brazil in June.
The partnership between Kenya’s largest privately owned bank, CBA, leading integrated communications provider, Safaricom and Kenya’s top pay media operator, MultiChoice rides on the revolutionary M-Shwari platform that has made it possible for millions of Kenyans to save, earn interest and borrow money using their mobile phones.
The GOtv decoder loan from M-Shwari will enable customers access a decoder at a cost of Ksh. 3,499 payable in three monthly instalments. In order to qualify for the loan one needs to be an M- Shwari customer and have a loan limit of at least Ksh. 1,000. To access this loan, a customer needs to dial *234*6#.
