NCBA’s Water Loan offers fast, accessible financing and expert support for SMEs in water, sanitation, and irrigation projects.
Are you working in water, sanitation, or irrigation and considering financing? The NCBA Water Loan may be worth your attention. NCBA is offering this product through its Commercial and SME Banking division, developed in partnership with Water.org, with a goal is to make financing more accessible for small and medium enterprises in the water ecosystem.
The water loan is part of NCBA’s larger commitment to sustainability financing, with Ksh 30 billion allocated toward supporting businesses that contribute to environmental and social outcomes. According to Robert Kiboti, Director of Commercial and SME Banking, “At NCBA, we prioritize seamless access to funding for players in the Water, Sanitation, and Irrigation ecosystem in line with our Ksh 30 billion commitment to sustainability financing. Our nationwide branch network is supported by trained relationship managers working alongside consultants and engineers through Water.org to deliver practical water solutions that advance SDG 6—Clean Water and Sanitation for All.”
The Water Loan is designed to be straightforward and fast. Conditional approval takes 15 seconds. A formal offer letter follows within 48 hours. If you need equipment, NCBA also provides leasing products through Asset Finance. This means you can get both the funding and tools you need to build water infrastructure quickly.
The offering goes beyond financing. SMEs benefit from NCBA’s professional advice and education, plus training and support by Water.org experts, including consultants and engineers who understand the technical side of water and sanitation. This makes it easier for you to access not just money, but informed support that helps you use it well.
