Data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics that yield tables, charts, mean and standard deviation that gave meaning to the data collected. The regression equation revealed that the predictors were significant and explained the model at an R squared of 80.5% to yield the study findings that credit risk management play a critical role in determining how well Fintech companies in Kenya operate when it comes to borrowing money and expanding their loan portfolio.
