Terms and conditions of each lender

No two digital lenders are the same, they might share some similarities but they operate differently and as such have varying terms and conditions.

That’s why when you want to choose a digital lender to borrow from, you should go through their terms and conditions with a fine-toothed comb, to comb out any uncertainty.

Understand the terms and conditions for each loan offer, including the interest rate, fees, and any penalties for late payments or prepayment. Do this for every digital lender you have an interest in and you’ll see the best one for you could be hiding in plain sight.

The reputation of lenders

There’s a lot to be said about rumours and how they should not be believed, but do know that every rumour holds a grain of truth.

If you have an interest in any particular digital lender, and whispers are going around about them, you should take the time to make confirmations and not just work on blind faith.

Check the reviews of previous clients and see what value each lender is known for. Even a quick search of the lender’s name on a search engine can get you news articles and blog posts about that lender. You can also take a quick stroll on the Google Play Storeor Apple App Store review and see what others are saying.

Customer service of lenders

The customer care service of any organization is usually the link between the customer and the business. So, you must keep an eye out because they’re who you’ll go to if you have any problems before, during and after a loan transaction.

Find out how responsive their customer service team is, their tone when they respond to their clients, how fast they respond to their clients (or if they respond at all), and what others have said about their services.

This can help you get a better idea of what it will be like if you ever find yourself needing help from the lender.

Total cost of loan

It’s not just the loan amount + interest rate offered that you should look out for in a loan, most times there are extra processing fees that you might know nothing about added to the total cost.

This is why it’s a good idea to always read the loan terms or better still, ask your prospective lender. Look out for extra fees attached to the loan and make sure that it’s something you can comfortably work with. Here are some other questions you can ask your lender.

Extra perks, rewards and discount

There isn’t anyone who doesn’t like to be rewarded or receive a discount on any of their purchases, Now imagine that in a loan setting. Awesome right?

There are numerous perks you could get for choosing one lender that you might not get with another. This is why you should find out what perks or rewards they offer; if they have reduced interest rates, flexible terms for loyal customers etc.

These discounts and rewards could be the defining choice that makes one lender more attractive than another.
