PickCredit loan app interest rate?

Loan period: the loan range is from 7 days to 360 days ,
Loan amount: the loan amount is from NGN 8,000 to NGN 300,000
Loan interest: Interest rate:15% – 35% APR,no additional fees.
Service fee: 0%
Handling fee: 0%

Take a case for example:
if a customer borrows ₦10,000 for 180 days (6 months), the APR is 18%
So the total Interest would be 10,000 NGN 18%180/365 = 887 NGN.
The monthly payment would be (10,000 NGN +887 NGN )/6 = 1,962 NGN.
The total repayment amount would be 10,887 NGN.

This interest 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.

What PickCredit loan app can improve?

Pick credit has a smooth interface for easy loan application process, that is about the only positive thing on this loan app.

First, the loan interest rate on the app is extremely high especially for first time borrowers. The app can also trick borrowers into taking the extremely high interest. for example, when you apply for a loan the app will calculate how much you qualify for and make you a loan offer.

But your loan offer already contains the interest. Most first time borrowers get approved to receive N8,000 but end up with a loan disbursement of N5,000 or less in their bank accounts and will be expected to pay back N8,000 plus interest within 7 days or face consequences. Some customers have also complained of hidden charges in addition to all these.

PickCredit loan app is supposed to be an instant loan app but some customers have been kept on review, unable to receive loan disbursement for days despite qualifying for one.

This app does not seem to have a functional customer service phone number, only an email is available for customer support services.
