What NewCredit loan app can improve?

The loan application process on NewCredit is simple and seamless, tho the app does collect a lots of information like your employment details and residential address last to your P.O Box.

The loan interest rate on this app is manageable even for new borrowers, but loan disbursement can sometimes be slow. Some customers have complained of not getting their loans disbursed to their account days after getting approved for it.

The repayment gateway on NewCredit has lots of bugs. Most customers are left frustrated and unable to repay their loans as the one time password OTP sent to their phones does not arrive on time or doesn’t arrive at all.

The customer service experience on this app is also very terrible. Only one email address is available for complaints and messages sent to it is often times not responded to.

How to solve NewCredit repayment problem


Most customers are left unable to repay their loans as the OTP sent via Paystack payment gateway often does not arrive on time or does not arrive at all. The fee for late payment is a punitive N600 per day on your loan even if the fault is not yours.

One way to work around this is to request for the apps official bank account and make your loan repayment into it. Make sure the account you are paying into is from the app to avoid paying to fraudsters.
