How to Download APK and get a loan from CashFarm loan app



  • Download the CashFarm personal Loan App exclusively available on the Google Playstore and install on your Android phone.
  • Register an account with your phone number.
  • Preferably the phone number connected to your BVN as a one time password will be sent to it for verification.
  • Fill in your basic Kwow-your-customer KYC information, including your residential address, next of kin and employment details
  • You will also be required to provide your Biometric verification number BVN.
  • You’ll be charged N50 to bind your ATM card to your account to increase your chances and get a higher loan amount.
  • A one-time password OTP will be sent to your phone to confirm your details.
  • After the submission of your loan application, the software will analyze your credit score and the final result will be shown in the APP.
  • The result should be displayed in less than two minutes and if you qualify for a loan, the loan amount will be disbursed into the bank account directly.

The N30 charged to bind your ATM card to your account is refundable, but can take anywhere from 7 to 12 business days for the money to be refunded back to your bank account.

Your BVN is linked to your credit score, so if you have an outstanding loan with other lenders or didn’t pay other lenders as at when due, expect your application to be rejected.

When you download this app you have to consent to it to get access to your phone book contacts that will serve as your guarantors, SMS to see your banking transaction records, apps on your phone to see how you use other loan apps and other details it uses to build your credit score.

Is CashFarm Loan app legit or scam?

Yes, CashFarm loan app is legit, tho the app is still relatively new on the play store it does give out loans to customers but caution should be taken before taking any online loan. Always read other customer’s reviews before you apply for a loan in Nigeria.

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 CashFarm loan app can improve?

CashFarm charges high interest rates for short term loans, first time borrowers usually get about 6k to payback 10k within 7 days.

The loan rejection rate is also high, most customers application get rejected after submitting their details. Some are simply kept in review for days.

The app also has some networking issues that prevents some customers from binding their ATM card smoothly among other registration issues. The app also delays in acknowledging loan repayments. After repaying your loan, be patient and keep your proof of payment Handy as it may take a while to clear your dashboard. Sending verification is also complex as most customers report not getting it.

When taking loan, be mindful of the repayment plan. If you take a 60 days loan with two repayment installments, the app might attempt to auto debit you on the due date of the first installment and even charge overdue charges before the end of your 60 days tenure.

You can change your ATM card password to prevent auto debit. This app has been reported to deliberately auto debit their customers even after they have made payments via bank transfer.

The loan tenure is very small, starting from just 7 days. This is lower than the 30 days minimum tenure recommended by the CBN for short term personal loan providers.

Because there is no regulations in Nigeria, most of these apps are loan sharks who might threaten to send messages to your family members calling you a scammer if you default on your repayment. It is best to avoid these apps if you have other options.

If you’re being threatened or bullied by any loan shark in Nigeria, see this Facebook group where you can find support and read about the experience of others who have suffered bullying from loan apps.

CashFarm loan app interest rate?

Maximum repayment period offered = 180 days

Example interest calculation for a sample loan as follows

Principal: 100,000.00
Loan Interest: (APR): 30%
Tenor: 4 months

Annual Interest (: 100000 * 0.3) :30,000 Naira

  • Have an active bank account.
  • Your phone number must be the one connected to your BVN.
  • Have a valid government issued ID card.

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.

      1. I was deceived by their staff to collect a loan and now am receiving insults because I actually sent the cash back the same day without the interest cos I kept tell the lady I can’t take 6200 to pay 10710 and she said I could still click to apply and il get 10k to pay back 10720 and I received the same 6200 which I paid back immediately but their online replay platform requires you to pay the whole money so what I paid did not go and I don’t even know till I discovered I could pay offline with an account generated for me which I paid eventually after some days that’s the 6200, now they are harassing me after I sent evidence of my chat with their staff how she deceived me to collect the loan. Am pissed right now.

        1. They are bunch of touts. I take a loan and just when it’s time to pay they begin to send me all manner of messages calling thieves and murderer simply because I asked they should wait till 3pm on my due date so I can make payment. What a stupid strategy to collect back your money. I suggest they train their staff of emotional intelligence.

        2. Same thing happened to me today o please what do I do. I can’t afford to pay 4510 interest in 7days

    1. Please can we work together. They defamed my sister too because yesterday was her due payment which she later payed at night..

      1. Good day, I hope cashfarm agents can see this, the loan I took was meant to be due today 17th August 2022.
        And an agent went ahead sending messages to my contact.
        Loan is due today, the foolish guy started sending messages to my contact.
        Its ohk you lots will hear from me.

      2. I just had a terrible experience with one of their staffs, I didn’t get a loan from them I’m just on the contact list of one of their beneficiary and this lady started laying curses on me and my family, please do they gave a physical office I need to know who that lady is.

  3. I took a loan with cash farm, my repayment is due and the phone I use in registering is faulty, and I have an iPhone but the app is not on apple store

      1. Good morning pls if money mistakenly sent to your acc how many days does it take you to reffer d money

        1. I don’t understand the question. Did you send money to a loan app or they sent you money that you don’t need?
          If you are the one that sent them money, all you can do is to request for another loan in the amount you sent.

          1. Immediately go to the person’s bank that you sent the money to, ask them to place a lien on the account before they can withdraw the money. Go with proof to the bank that you sent money to right now.

          2. I made payments since the 26th of May and they are still saying I am owing and haven’t cleared me. I have sent them emails with proof of payment, communicated with two agents who one of them told me not to disturb him. I have written to them via mail 4 times now and if by any means they send me abusive messages again or threatening messages , I would sue them.

          3. They are thieves and a lier. I don’t advice anyone to take loan from them, just because I ask their agent to give me till 2 that I will pay he started messaging my contacts with my bvn in it, I want this loan app banned forever and if anything happened to my bank through the bvn they sent out you will pay for it, you thieves

          4. Hello good morning …please I also mistakenly sent 24,000 to them and I’m not owing…how do I contact customer care

          5. Hello. A loan was disbursed to my account from cashfarm yesterday 12noon and till now, I’ve not received the money in my account. Meanwhile the app is already counting the days. Sent 2 mails, no response

        2. Please where you able to get your money back cos I’m having the same issue

        3. On the 3/9/2022 dey to the network issue in my bank I pay to your bank twice a some of 10,710 2x when I want to pay back my loan then on Monday I went to my bank to print out my statement account for that transaction then I complain of paying twice into your account on the 5/9/2022 on your email address [email protected]. I was told to send my proof my full name and my mobile number wish I did then also send the copy of the statement I collected from my bank up till now no response pls kindly look into my complaints.

  4. We went to wema bank dey said is an organization company so they did nothing to it

    1. If it’s a loan app you can just take another loan or contact the company and explain to them. Which company did you make the transfer to?

        1. The best solution will be to request for another loan in the amount
          That you overpaid. When it’s time to payback, you show them the receipt of when you overpaid into their account.

      1. I took a loan from your company and repaid on the 26th May 2022. Sent receipts of my payment and debit receipts and also sent your customer care emails concerning this transaction.I keep getting calls that you haven’t gotten my repayment and it’s from my bank. I contacted my bank and was told the transfer was successful and was sent account statement having records and transaction reference number of the transaction. Your agent went ahead and called my contacts that I am owing and threatening words about me and I was not taking my calls after we had spoken and I sent her all chats and documents of my transfer . However, I have decided to take this up legally since you choose to wrongly defame me and my reputation. My Lawyer would reach out to you.
