Positive Reviews
It’s worth downloading. Worth having. Very practical mobile loan platform. Arrives in seconds. A good platform needs to be shared.
K.N – 5/5 RatingIt’s easy to use, and also, I love the fact that they have an extension option, you can add more days in case you are not able to clear in a week.
D.N. – 5/5 RatingThe app is really quick and dependable. You can rely on them if you repay on time. The only problem is that the repayment period is very short.
K.K – 4/5 Rating
Negative Reviews
Same ol’, same ol’ s**t. They promise big loans, low interest, and long periods but when you open the app, all you get is 1400, repay 2000 in one week, and interest of Ksh.600. Total waste of bundles. Also, most of the positive 5-star reviews have foreign names, which means they aren’t genuine.
R.N – 1/5 RatingThe frequent calls and SMS feel like harassment especially when one has NOT taken a loan from you. Kindly stop spamming people with unnecessary calls and messages, I’ve had to block 4 of your numbers so far.
