How to check your CRB status in Kenya
Your credit report decides how lenders see you. Checking it lets you fix mistakes before you apply.
Where to check
Request your report from a licensed credit reference bureau such as TransUnion, Metropol or Creditinfo, using the bureau's official channels. Ask about any fee that applies.
What to look for
Wrong names, loans you did not take, balances already paid and old listings. These can lower your chances.
Disputing errors
Contact the lender and the bureau in writing and ask for the record to be corrected.
Improving your score
Pay on time, avoid borrowing from many apps at once and clear old debts. For lenders and options, read loans for CRB-listed Kenyans.
Frequently asked questions
Does checking my own report hurt my score?
Checking your own report is generally not treated like a loan application, but confirm with the bureau.
How long does it take to update?
It depends on the lender and bureau.
