What other borrowers are saying about PP loan app


Animashaun Toyin wrote, “Actually, the app shows seven days, but it started counting 6days and the interest is a bit high, kindly work on it. But loan processing is stress free and quick disbursement.”

Chinawaeze Joy wrote, “Awful experience. Borrowed 6k but they sent me 3900 and deducted 2100 saying it’s for processing fees. However, I refunded 2950 to them immediately I got their alert because I’m not interested with that kind of transaction yet they said I should pay 2050 for as a repayment amount. NT: I’m not gonna pay any other money as I didn’t make you of your 3900 naira they sent to me instead of 6000 I requested. Regards, Prosper”.

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.

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.

interest rate?

Services offered to users by Creditup:
Loan term: We will ask you to repay the loan within 91 to 365 days.
Loan amount: NGN 1,000 – NGN 100,000
Interest rates: Up to 2.5% per month and up to 30% per annum only.

📝Example:
Loan amount: N10,000
Loan period: 91 days
Loan interest = 10,000 x 2.5% x 3 = 750
Repayment amount = 10,000 + 10,000 x 2.5% x 3 = 10,750
Monthly repayment amount = (10,000 + 10,000 x 2.5% x 3)/3 = 3,583

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.

What are the requirements?

  • Be a legal citizen or legal Resident of Nigeria
  • Be at least 18 years old.
  • Have a Monthly income source.
  • Bind your ATM card to your account
  • Provide details of two of your next of kins including their phone numbers.
  • Have a good credit score with no outstanding loans from other lenders.
  • 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.
