First times can be scary and uncertain…

Irorun disagrees that your first loan should be any of that.

So we’ve curated 5 essential facts Irorun first-time users should know:

## Loan range
“To each their own”

The above is true for loan apps as well. Every loan app caters to a unique problem. For example, Irorun as a microloan app offers small loans that act as a quick fix for emergencies.

Irorun’s loan amount falls at a minimum of ₦5,000 and a maximum of ₦50,000. This is also a perfect opportunity for one to build their credit score.

Recall, that for you to qualify for a large loan, a good credit score is needed. And that’s where Irorun comes in. With our easy-to-access small loans — you can build a credible credit score and profile.

## Loan approval requires a valid government-issued ID card
To get your loan approved on Irorun, you need a current and valid government-issued ID card. This serves as a means to verify your identity. Therefore, expired ID cards or means of Identification different from those specified by Irorun will not be accepted.

You should also know that you’re only asked to provide a valid ID card once and then your Irorun account is created to serve you for life. This is why we advise you not to delete your account after one loan transaction.

## Loan eligibility
As a new Irorun user, you are only eligible for a loan amount of ₦5000 for the first time.

Not to worry, Irorun has put in place a system that helps to build mutual trust between lender and borrower. This system gives you a chance to work your way up on the Irorun trust bar while also giving you what you need.

The more you borrow and complete payments at the due date, the higher your chances of being eligible for higher loan amounts. We’re cool right?

This system enables us to build a trustworthy relationship with you while also building your credit profile and score.

## Phone call verification
We know you may not be thrilled by this but Irorun needs to speak with you, as a part of our verification process, before your first loan may be approved.

When you apply for a loan with Irorun, you will be sent a verification email with a number you’re required to call. Ignoring this final stage can cost you your loan approval.

The phone call verification is an important process that Irorun has put in place for your protection. For cases, where a scammer steals an individual’s data and identity to process a loan, phone call verification helps expose such treachery.

Once you’ve completed your phone call verification, a final approval or rejection email will be sent to you.

## Data privacy
This is a major part of Irorun’s ethics that we strive to uphold as giving out the data of clients without express permission is a detestable act punishable by law and Irorun would never do such.

As Irorun’s loyal clients, one of our goals is to protect your information from those who wish to do you harm and as such Irorun would never undermine you by abusing your private information.

5 facts Irorun first-time users should know

Are you thinking of your first loan application attempt?

Irorun has carefully selected common issues you are likely to come across and how to tackle them.

Let’s jump right in 

## Choosing a lender
Many borrowers find it difficult to choose who to borrow from and when it comes to small loans, you will find hundreds of lenders out there, each claiming to be the best. This can be an issue for borrowers.

However, it is essential to know that one lender is not the best for all borrowers. One size doesn’t fit it all.

You should compare lenders based on their various loan terms such as loan amount, interest rate, repayment period, eligibility criteria, document requirements, customer service, and other parameters. This makes it easier to choose one that offers your required loan rate with suitable terms and conditions.

## Failure in the first stage
As unbelievable as it may be, a lot of borrowers do not even pass the first stage of verification. There are many rejections due to an inability to meet the prospective lender’s requirements as well as other issues such as age inconsistencies or an unstable income.

One way to avoid such a situation would be to ensure the eligibility criteria of lenders. When completing a loan application, it’s important to state all the details correctly.

The lender will check your credit report and verify your details. If both parties are not compatible, there is a good chance your application will be rejected.

## Hidden charges
Most people tend to ignore any charge that is not the interest rate. You shouldn’t do this. These charges can become a really big problem later. Some fees that are not mentioned when you take out a loan are processing fees, fines on late payment, charges on prepayment, transactional fees etc.

As a rule of thumb, it’s important that you ask your prospective lender questions regarding other fees to prevent surprise fees.

## Credit score
One’s credit score says more about their finances than one could ever say about themselves. It’s an honest indication of your financial skills. And no responsible lender will be enthusiastic to “compromise” when it comes to your credit score.

Lenders need to verify your creditworthiness before lending because as we always say, a lender who’s not afraid to lose their money is dangerous. No lender would lend to someone if they were unsure of the person’s capability to repay the loan with interest. Here are some tips to help you boost your credit score.

## Documentation mishap
Several go into loan application and approval, fortunately, digital lending platforms have made the process oh-so-easy.

Yet, there are some necessary checks that lenders can’t compromise on. Lenders carry out a careful assessment of your documents as well as confirm genuineness through live-means and this can be an extensive process.

However, all the work that goes into this process is not only important but also essential to avoid any future issues. The best method to go about this process is to make a checklist of all the required documents before submitting them to the lender. This prevents issues of misspelled names, inconsistent data etc…

## Liveness check
We earlier mentioned how lenders verify your identity through live-means. This is what we mean — Irorun, for example, will need you to do a face match to confirm “genuineness”. This becomes an issue when one is in an environment with bad lighting, thereby discrediting their authenticity. We no fit give loan to who him face no show o!

Although it might seem frustrating, Irorun only does this in your best interest. You should put an effort in making sure your facial details show up clearly (take pictures in places with good lighting), failure to do so can lead to a rejection.

There are scammers out there who could have the complete details of another individual but they won’t have the same face. So, a facial match helps prevent fraudulent acts like identity theft.

## Access to data
People tend to feel vulnerable when they give a site or app access to their data, they tend to think of the worst-case scenario. I mean who can blame them, there are some malicious lenders out there, but despite all that, ethical lenders will never misuse your data. Here’s why you can trust Irorun to never misuse your data.

Granting access is not necessarily a bad thing as some vital information they need to process your identity could be gotten from your device. Some people, without knowing the implication, deny lenders access to their devices and this can cause lenders to doubt your authenticity. Remember, that the lender is also taking the risk of lending to you.

As the holidays are fast approaching, we’ve curated 5 money mistakes you should avoid this season

Dive in!

## Impulse buying
There are a lot of people who believe that holidays are a perfect time to spend money on miscellaneous items due to rapid inflation in prices, the thought process is usually “I don’t know how much it would be after the holiday so let me just buy it now.” Irorun is here to tell you to relax.

When the urge to buy every random item crosses your mind, fight it! You’re not missing out on anything.

Satisfying every “buy me” impulse may leave you broke before the holidays are even over. Be a little intentional about curbing those impulsive habits, to avoid regret and unchecked expenses.

## Having no holiday budget
A sure way to curb impulse buying during the holiday season is to set a realistic holiday budget that covers all your major expenses for the season. This holiday budget will help you put a check on your spending limit.

Having a holiday budget will give you that sense of responsibility that you didn’t even know you needed and that’s why you need one (because life doesn’t end at the holidays). Having no budget affects your thought process, it becomes a free-for-all, and you just might end up struggling to keep up after the holidays are over.

## Not saving for January 35th
We can’t be the only ones to have noticed that the days after the holidays seem to stretch on forever and seem to have a lot of expenses piled up (It’s like the universe has decided to punish you for having too much fun). You seem to realize that in your bid to enjoy the holidays to the fullest you are left with nothing and are now struggling. God forbid! Abi? That’s where budgeting comes in. Remember, when making a budget, you are always advised to set aside some savings. January has 35 days o!

One piece of advice we’d love to give you regarding saving is this — Don’t just save for the rainy days with cloudy skies, save for sunshiny days with clear skies too.

## Don’t get lost in the holiday spirit
Many holiday decisions are made under the influence of the “holiday spirit”. It’s easy to get lost in the bubble and fritz of the holiday and that’s why some people only decide to travel and visit family during this period. For someone who is trying to survive till after the holidays, this would mean extra expenses for you. Village people would want more than greetings o!

Unless you have enough to spare for a holiday trip, you shouldn’t be taking one on a whim. Even when others travel for holiday adventures in other parts of the world doesn’t mean that you should.

Imagine getting stranded in another state or country because in the ‘spirit of the holiday’ you wanted to visit some random family member or go on an adventure without making plans for it. Ha! don’t do it!

## Hosting the Joneses
Say it out loud “I’m not at home!”

We know that sometimes it’s hard to outrightly say ‘no’ when asked for a favour from family or friends. But sometimes learning how to say “no” saves you from unplanned and burdensome expenses.

Take, for instance, a family member or friend suggests “spending the holiday with you”. Although it seems like a nice holiday gesture, it would be best to decline if your finances cannot accommodate so much at that point. Taking on extra expenses in a bid to “save face” may cost you more than you expect.

…

It’s the festive season soon and as always, we want you to make great financial choices and plans in preparation for the new year.

5 money mistakes to avoid this holiday

A debt-to-income ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income (before taxes) that goes towards payment for debts. In other words, a debt-to-income ratio is how much of your income goes to paying debts. It’s like a score to show how much debt you have compared to your income. Think of it as what percentage of your monthly salary is spent on paying off loans.

Lenders like to know that you will not be stranded whenever you have to repay a loan from them, so they tend to make sure that you have a good debt-to-income ratio.

What do lenders consider a good debt-to-income ratio? A general rule of thumb is to keep your overall debt-to-income ratio at or below 43%.

The general idea is that a low debt-to-income ratio demonstrates a good balance between debt and income. That is, the lower the percentage, the better the chance you will be able to get the loan you want.

Since lenders tend to look out for your debt-to-income ratio, here are some ways it can impact your loan application:

## Approval chances
Some individuals pay off an allocated amount monthly, to clear up pending debts gotten from one means or the other.

A high debt-to-income ratio indicates that you have too much debt in contrast to your income, which can lower your chances of getting approved for a loan.

If a lender sees that you already have too much debt, you’re not likely to get the loan you’re looking for. We apologize in advance.

## Interest rate
Some lenders may use an individual’s debt-to-income ratio as one of the factors to determine the interest rate to be offered on a loan.

The higher one’s debt-to-income ratio, the higher the interest rate is likely to be. This is because the lender takes a higher chance/risk on the individual with a high debt-to-income ratio. The possibility that he or she bails out of loan repayment is much higher due to the already existing debt they’re yet to settle.

## Loan amount
Another way an individual’s DTI can impact their loan application is the loan amount they can be eligible for.

Lenders use a person’s debt-to-income ratio to determine the loan amount they can safely lend. With a high DTI, you stand the risk of only being approved for a smaller loan regardless of what you want. To qualify for larger loans, Irorun advises that you clear up all pending debts.

## Future loan opportunities
A lender might be willing to lend to you just once regardless of a high DTI. Consequently, they are likely to be reluctant to grant you future loan opportunities, as the lender is hesitant to take such a risk again. Once bitten, twice shy.

Remember, any lender who’s unafraid to lose their money is a red flag.

## Guarantor requirements
Having a high debt-to-income ratio will likely mean that you would need a guarantor to help you smooth over any issues you may have with repayment.

Lenders may require you to have a guarantor to serve as an additional source of repayment in case you are unable to make loan repayments on the due date.

…

A low DTI makes your loan application a lot easier for you and your prospective lender. If you carry less debt, you can save more money on interest payments, as well as get the best loan option and term from ethical and responsible lenders. Here are a few advantages of a low debt-to-income ratio:

- It helps you qualify for loans with ease
- It indirectly helps you boost your credit score
- It gives you peace of mind
- It tells you if your financial status is good or on-the-verge-of-collapse
