How to create a Loan

There are two ways of creating loans:
  1. USSD/ mobile app  - Customer applies 
  2. Manual creation on the loan done by admin
This guide focuses on creating a loan manually through the Presta LMS

Step 1: Access the Loan Section 
Login to https://accounts.presta.co.ke/ and select Presta as indicated below

On selecting Presta navigate to the Loan section on the menu on the left and click it and select All loans 





Step 2: Creating the loan
When the page loads you should be able to see the page below. Follow the arrow to create a new loan


Fill in the loan details as below



When you click submit it should lead you to a pop up window to confirm details before submitting the new loan



Step 3: Approving the loan
Once you save if successful you will get a confirmation message and a draft of the loan waiting approval






After approving the draft it moves to appraisal where it will need to be approved a second time by admin



Once approved by admin it will be indicated as below allowing you to either post or disburse the amount 



Post the loan to show a record of the loan if the client has already received the funds.



Disburse the loan when you want to transfer the money from your account to the client.
