Speaking during the signing of the pact, Autochek Kenya’s country Manager, Bilhah Muriithi said “this move will give our customers a wider variety of cars as we will onboard brand new cars on the platform as well as showroom cars that have been used locally”.

Autochek, being the only car financing platform that also has car listings on its website is keen to open its platform to the entire automobile ecosystem by including insurance, tracking, and aftersales partners in a bid to offer a one-stop-shop solution on everything cars.
