Happy loan app interest rate?

Loan time tenure: from 91 days to 365 days.
Loan amount range: from ₦5000 to ₦ 50,000.
Loan interest: the total interest range is from 2% to 24%. The equivalent monthly interest is from 1% to 2% and APR is from 12% to 24%.

Calculation example:
Example:
If the loan amount is ₦ 6000 and the interest rate is 2% per month with the tenure of 4 months.
The total interest would be ₦ 6000* 24%/12*4= ₦480, and the monthly interest is ₦120.
Total amount the user should repay is ₦ 6480. Before the due day, User could have 4 months to settle the payment, and the monthly payment would be NGN 1620.

This interest rate and tenure is just as an example, expect your loan amount and period to be significantly lower if you’re borrowing for the first time. You can increase your amount by keeping good records and paying back loan on time.

Is Happy loan app legit or scam?

Yes, Happy Loan app is legit and does give out loans to customers but with extremely high interest rates most especially for first time borrowers. Read other customer’s reviews on play store before you apply for a loan.

You should know that these loan apps are not registered or regulated by the CBN or any government agency in Nigeria. You are responsible for the security of your transactions with them and there is no way to seek redress for poor customer service.

Also its availability on Google play store does not make transactions performed on it secure. The play store merely provides an avenue for download, you are responsible for your own security while using loan apps in Nigeria.

What will happen if I don’t repay my loan or pay my loan late?

Late loan repayments automatically incur a fee of 2% per day. It is therefore advised that one does not exceed the due date. Repay the loan by its due date allows you to access larger loan sizes. Late repayments will affect your ability to get subsequent or larger loans. If you are very late on your payments, you will be reported to the First Central Credit Bureau. Blacklisting by the First Central Credit Bureau may affect your ability to borrow from other lenders.
