Positive reviews
I love this app. Their customer service is exemplary, they have friendly interest rates and the best part is the extension option, whereby you can pay a small charge to push your deadline further ahead. You can extend as many times as possible until you are financially prepared to clear the whole amount. Highly recommend!! MK (5/5 Rating)
MK (5/5 Rating)It has a reasonably low-interest rate. Then there is an option for an extension of the loan repayment period. The only downside is reminders before the due date e.g., 3 days to… Even if you are a few days before the due date, they annoyingly send texts reminding you to extend or repay. Work on that.

So many phone calls from different people despite having communicated. Probably could be the same people giving 5-star ratings to their own app. I don’t recommend it!!
