About Kaego

What is Kaego Financing?
Kaego Financing is the financing arm being built by Kaego to help address the funding barrier that can prevent African students from moving through the international education journey. It's built on Kaego's broader work helping students with school matching, admissions, visas and travel.
How is Kaego Financing different from Kaego's other services?
Kaego's broader platform helps students navigate the international education journey — choosing a destination, matching to universities and programs, and getting admitted. Kaego Financing is the part of that journey focused on funding, for students who need help covering the cost of enrollment.
Is Kaego Financing already lending?
Kaego Financing is an early-stage product that is being developed and launched. We have not yet originated loans. Availability, financing terms and timelines depend on the applicable financing structure and lending partners, which are still being finalized. We'll be transparent about status as the product moves toward launch.

Education Journey

Do I need an admission offer before I start with Kaego?
No. Kaego's broader education platform can help you navigate the journey from the very beginning — choosing a destination, matching to universities and programs, and applying. Financing isn't available at that stage: once you've secured admission through Kaego, you can explore financing if you're eligible.
How does Kaego help me find a university?
Kaego helps you think through your goals — what you want to study, where, and what you're working toward — and helps identify destinations, institutions and programs that fit, then supports you through applying.
I already have admission through Kaego. Can I check financing eligibility now?
Yes. If you secured your admission through Kaego and have a funding gap, you can go straight to checking your eligibility for Kaego Financing — you don't need to start from the beginning.

Financing

How much financing can I receive?
The current working product range is approximately $2,500–$10,000. This is a working range under development, subject to eligibility, assessment, applicable financing terms and product availability — not a guaranteed amount available to every applicant.
What can financing be used for?
Financing is intended to be used toward eligible education expenses required to move toward enrollment, such as tuition and enrollment deposits. Specific eligible uses will be confirmed as part of your financing offer.
What are the interest rate and fees?
Kaego Financing's pricing structure is still being finalized and has not been published. Specific rates, fees and terms will be disclosed clearly to applicants before any financing is accepted, once the product's financing structure is confirmed.

Eligibility

Who can apply?
Kaego Financing is designed for African students who have secured admission through Kaego and have a funding requirement. Broad eligibility factors include your confirmed institution and program, funding requirement, and financial profile. Meeting general criteria does not guarantee approval.
Does applying guarantee approval?
No. Applying starts an assessment, not an approval. Financing decisions depend on eligibility, the information you provide, and applicable risk criteria.

Application

How is my application assessed?
Kaego is developing an approach designed to look beyond a single traditional credit signal — considering your education profile, institution and program, and relevant financial and supporting information together, alongside defined eligibility and risk criteria.
What documents will I need?
You'll typically be asked for information about your education plans or admission, your academic background, and your financial and funding situation, along with supporting documentation. Exact requirements will be confirmed during your assessment.
What countries and universities are supported?
Kaego is being built around the international destinations and institutions African students most commonly pursue. Specific coverage will be confirmed as the product develops — start your journey to see what applies to your situation.

Repayment

How does repayment work?
Repayment terms will be confirmed as part of your financing offer, before you accept it. Kaego Financing is being designed with responsible financing principles in mind, so terms are communicated clearly upfront rather than buried in fine print.

Privacy & data

How is my information used and protected?
Information you share is used to help match you to suitable options and assess your eligibility. This marketing site does not collect sensitive financial information directly — it directs you into Kaego's secure application flow. See our Privacy Policy for full detail.
