The Interest Rate And How Its Calculated






For any amount of loaned money, you will be charged 3.25% per month. The loan has an allowed maximum payback period of 9 months with no extra charges. This seems cheap compared to the ones offered by Nigerian banks

For example, if you apply for a N30,000 loan and you seek to payback monthly from your  NYSC monthly allowance for 9 months, you get it calculated this way:


 The loan is a 3.25% interested loan.
You loaned N30,000.
You want to payback from your allowances in 9months.
Then, With basic arithmetic,
30,000/9 =3,333.3 - keep that aside.
0.0325 x 30,000 = 975

Adding up, 3,333.3 + 975 = N4,308.3 - This will be your required payback each month.
