Interest Rates of Some Loan Apps in Nigeria
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Online loan apps are gaining traction because of features such as customized repayment plans, minimal documentation, low-interest rates, and quick disbursal. Before now, one of the biggest challenges people faced was accessing quick loans.

You had to visit a bank, obtain relevant information, and provide collateral before getting a loan. This process was not only tedious but also out of the reach of many people.

With the emergence of online loan apps, anyone can apply for a loan from the comfort of their homes. You can also monitor the progress of your application easily.

Kiakia’s interest rate is typically from 5.6% – 24%.

What happens when you fail to repay your loan?

Many operators of loan apps have been known to recover their monies through interesting and unconventional means, including calling a defaulter’s telephone contacts to request the contact’s intervention. Such contacts may be friends, family members, co-workers or even a borrower’s employers.

Permission to access the contacts on a borrower’s phone is usually requested by the app at the sign-up stage. Therefore, what people who use loan apps gain in terms of convenience and speed, they lose through privacy breach and sometimes, higher interest rates than what is obtainable with traditional banks.

    Nice article. The online loan companies have really made life easy for me as a salaried worker. I have used some of the above. I have found them very helpful, to meet unforeseen expenses before payday. Others like Okash and Kwikpay are not well known but I like their customer service.

    I guess this is a great opportunity for the unemployed and employed to critical access loans for viable business, knowing that they’ve to pay back with interest, hence, it’s advisable for borrower’s to be resourceful with the money borrowed and have a good plan before venturing into such business…
