Is LetsheGo loan app legit or scam?

Yes, LetsheGo Loan app is legit and does give out loans to customers but with extremely high interest rates most especially for first time borrowers. 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 LetsheGo loan app can improve?

LetsheGo loan app contains plenty of coding errors, you might have repaid your loan long before your due date and still notice that you in-app dashboard hasn’t been cleared. If this happens to you, you should keep your proof of repayment handy in case you’re challenged to pay late fees.
These coding errors also lead to difficulty in registration, some customers have complained that the OTP sent to their phones don’t arrive on time, or they are unable to bind their ATM card to account.

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.

LetsheGo interest rate?

Loan time tenure: from 91 days to 365 days.
Loan amount range: from ₦5000 to ₦ 500,000.
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%.

Example Interest calculation:
If you want to borrow 100,000 with loan term of 365 days, the total interest you would need to repay would be: 100,000 x 20% = 20,000.
The total amount you will need to repay is: principal + interest = 100,000 + 20,000 = 120,000.
And the interest you need to repay each month is 100,000 x 20% / 12 = 1,667.
So your monthly repayment is (100,000 + 20,000)/12 = 10,000.

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.
