You are not obligated to use it. It is for people seeking credible, safe and decent income on their funds instead of keeping it idle.

I saw "Halal" as a lending option. What does that mean?
Halal is an Arabic word that means permissible. Our Halal investment option adheres to the Islamic principles governing non-interest funding. Under this arrangement, KiaKia gives funds to businesses for the purpose of profit sharing rather than interest payment according to the Islamic principle of non-interest finance. It is optional.
Safeguarding your investment
We take constant cognisance that we are looking after your money and only invest in loans and fund businesses that will benefit both borrowers and investors. Our experience of lending helps to ensure that KiaKia's portfolio of loans perform well. We take the security of the loans we issue very seriously.
While your investment is matched to a business, your investment benefits from the scale and stability of our overall large porfolio.
It is noteworthy that no single lender/investor has lost a kobo in the last 3 years.
However, this is not a guarantee for the future and your capital, interest and profit are at risk if the safety funds is depleted.
Safety fund
As is the practice, people who take out a loan pay interest on the money that they have borrowed. At KiaKia, part of the interest/profit shared goes to you, the investor/lender, while another part goes directly into the safety fund.
The safety fund grows along with the portfolio size and repayments made by borrowers. The money that is in the safety fund is buffer to protect your investment. It does this by automatically reimbursing you if a borrower's payment is missed.
Rates
Interest rates range from as low as 12% and as high as 40% based on 6 to 18 months tenure. There a 4 interest and profit pay out options raging from quarterly, Bi-annual, annual and 18 months.
Users do not need to make requests for withdrawal as interest payments and capital is automatically credited to account details in profile. This is also an added security layer.
