PesaPap Loan App is an online banking platform for Family Bank. This application was developed to ease the banking processes for customers.

With the PesaPap app, customers can carry out transactions from their bank accounts at the comfort of their smartphones. The app, which is available in all the versions, Android, Windows, iOS and Blackberry, allows one to pay bills such as Water and Power bills directly from their account.
