Automatic translate
The economic crisis, which is growing so quickly in the country, is causing delayed wages, mass layoffs and a rapid rise in prices for products and services. In this regard, many have encountered unexpected financial difficulties that cannot be resolved on their own. If you urgently need to solve a financial problem, then online loans at a small interest rate will help. Next, we will consider the advantages of applying to MFOs and MFCs.
Benefits of online loans
One of the main advantages here is the speed of registration. If you urgently need to pay utility bills or buy groceries for your family, you can apply for a loan within half an hour (and if you apply again, in 5 minutes). You don’t even need to leave your home to register, as everything can be done online.
At the same time, you will not need to turn to friends or family for financial help, because sometimes this is not very convenient. Many people simply don’t want to tell anyone about their financial problems, so they apply for loans from MFOs and MFCs. None of your friends and family will know that you took out a loan online unless you tell them about it.
Another important advantage for new clients of credit institutions is the opportunity to receive a first loan without interest. This promotion is offered by all large microfinance companies, as well as some small ones. You should definitely take advantage of this unique opportunity.
When contacting again, regular customers are usually provided with discounts and advantageous offers. For example, if you take part in the referral program, you can get up to a 100% discount on interest on your next loan.
To apply for a loan you will not need a large package of documents, as is the case with a bank loan. All you need is a scan of your passport, TIN and any other document confirming your identity (for example, a driver’s or pension license). Everything will need to be sent electronically. The money will be transferred to the specified bank card immediately after the application is approved. At the same time, you can apply for a loan from any corner of the country. The main thing is to have access to the Internet.
The intended purpose of borrowed funds does not concern the lender issuing online loans, which cannot be said about bank lending, where the manager will definitely interrogate the client about the intended purpose of the funds during registration.
In case of early repayment, most microfinance organizations recalculate interest to benefit the client. That is, he will have to pay interest for the actual days of using the loan funds. But this clause should be found and carefully studied in the loan agreement, since not all companies provide this.
If you need to extend the loan term, this service can also be ordered. Usually it is paid, but there are microfinance organizations that offer to extend the repayment period for a few days for free. The extension is needed to avoid late fees and a negative credit rating.
You can get a loan for any amount - from 500 rubles to 30-50 or even 100 thousand rubles. Application consideration is usually carried out automatically. The system, created on the basis of AI, checks the user’s data in the credit history bureau and also uses other services. A decision is made to approve the application or refuse to issue a loan within a few minutes. There is no need to go to the bank, stand in line and answer awkward questions from the manager.
Disadvantages of Online Loans
There are practically none. If you carefully select a loan company and read the loan agreement before signing it, you can minimize the risk of falling for scammers. The main thing is to contact only popular and trusted companies, about which there are many positive reviews on the Internet. You should only take out a loan from legally operating MFOs and MFCs, the list of which is on the Central Bank website.
Criteria for choosing a microfinance company to apply for a loan:
- Availability of the company in the list of officially registered MFOs and MFCs.
- The duration of the company’s existence on the market.
- Reviews of the lender on the Internet.
- Availability of promotions for new clients and discounts for regular borrowers.
- Interest rate.
- Minimum and maximum loan size.
- Application approval rate.
- Requirements for clients.
- Is it possible to extend the loan, and what are the conditions?
- Is it possible to repay the loan early and will there be a recalculation of interest?
Thus, in order to quickly improve your financial situation, you need to contact MFOs or MFCs that issue loans online. But before submitting an application and sending documents, you should make sure that the company operates legally and has a lot of good reviews from clients. All this is publicly available on the Internet. In addition, do not forget to carefully read the loan agreement to make sure there are no pitfalls in it. What does it mean?
For example, the MFO banner located on the main page of the site is filled with an announcement about an interest-free loan for new clients. But at the same time, the loan agreement may stipulate certain conditions for the opportunity to take advantage of this offer. For example, you need to register a friend in the system or subscribe to a channel.
