Current UBA lending rates
The most recent bank-by-bank figures from the Central Bank of Kenya (August 2026) show an average lending rate of 15.77% at UBA Kenya Bank. The all-bank average was 14.34%, so UBA sits 1.43 percentage points above the market and comes in 29th out of 36 banks. Your own quote may differ, because each borrower’s rate is built from a reference rate plus a risk-based premium.
Using the calculator
- The rate is prefilled with UBA’s CBK average. Overwrite it with the rate on your offer letter.
- Enter the amount in shillings and the term in months.
- Choose reducing balance or flat rate.
- Open the repayment schedule to see the principal and interest in each installment.
For example, KES 200,000 over 24 months at 15.77% on a reducing balance costs about KES 9,771 a month.
Documents and eligibility
Banks in Kenya, UBA Kenya Bank included, generally check your identity (ID and KRA PIN), your income (payslips, statements or business records) and your repayment history with the credit reference bureaus. Collateral-backed loans need extra paperwork for the asset.
Comparing UBA with other lenders
A bank’s average rate is only a starting point. Two borrowers at UBA Kenya Bank can get very different quotes depending on their income stability, security and credit history. Get written quotations from at least two or three banks, enter each one in the calculator, and compare the total repayable rather than just the monthly installment. The Total Cost of Credit website (costofcredit.co.ke) is another place to check published bank pricing.
Smart borrowing checklist
Keep your total loan repayments well within your monthly income, and leave a buffer for emergencies. Ask UBA about insurance requirements, any early settlement charges and how a rate change would be communicated to you. Save a copy of the repayment schedule from this calculator so you can check it against your bank statements.
