Did you truly understand or you just wanted to sign and collect your money?

We understand that you need a quick fix and can’t wait to complete your loan approval process, but being ignorant of the terminologies can cause you great financial loss in the future, especially with bad lenders.

You must understand every term the lender uses during your loan application. And that’s why we’ve curated 10 easy-to-understand terminologies for you below;

## Borrower/Debtor
This is the person who takes out a loan from a lender and has a legal obligation to repay with any added fees. (Yes! Amaka na borrow you borrow the money, no be dash them dash you).

## Lender/Creditor
This is an organization or an AUTHORIZED individual that lends money to a borrower to provide help while making a profit. Emphasis on authorized. That dodgy-looking man that lends money to people and beats them up when they don’t pay is not an authorized lender. They have a name — “Loan Shark” (Shine your eye and borrow from legitimate sources o!).

## Debit card
The card we all know and love. This card is connected to your bank account from which you carry out both online and offline transactions with the use of an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) or a Point-of-Sale machine (POS). It is also used as a means of loan repayment, although it shares similarities with the direct debit means of payment. There’s a slight difference in loan fees which debit cards tend to charge higher fees.

## Direct debit
Now that your loan has been approved, repayment options are made available and one of them is DIRECT DEBIT. This is when money to repay is taken directly from your bank account only after being AUTHORIZED by you, as your bank cannot allow such to happen without your permission. It is a seamless process and only requires you to submit a mandate to your bank giving the lender permission to debit your account when the loan is due.

## Guarantor
This is a person that comes in only when the borrower is unable to repay the loan. This person could be a friend or family who signs an agreement, alongside the borrower, to take responsibility for a loan if the borrower defaults or does not pay. Once you’ve agreed to be a loan guarantor, it’s almost impossible to withdraw from the responsibility without the express approval of both the lending authority and the borrower. Most of the time, the lender will only approve if there’s another loan guarantor (Siri play Oniduro mi ese o! Because you’re Oniduro for life ).

## Installment loan
“I go pay the money small-small before you know e don finish”

An installment loan is the above. It is a type of loan where the borrower repays a portion of the principal and also pays interest on the loan in regularly scheduled payments. This is mostly done for large amounts of loan in an attempt to lessen the financial burden on the borrower. (Aww so thoughtful of us abi?).

## Default
This refers to failure to meet the repayment date following what was stated in the promissory note as a result of financial constraints, money emergencies or witchcraft. Yes! Witchcraft (why won’t you pay back what you borrowed na?). Irorun understands that life happens and if for any reason you find yourself struggling to pay back. Don’t. Ghost. Us. Reach out to us at support@irorun.com and we’ll restructure your loan terms.

## Loan deferment
Sometimes life happens and you might default on your repayment date. Relax it’s not the end of the world . Ethical and authorized lenders have a system that delays your loan payment without violating the loan terms. It is an extension of your loan period by the amount of time you are unable to pay. It serves as an option during loan restructuring. This puts you out of the bureau blacklist and saves your reputation. (See why e good to meet better lender?).

## Loan limit
“If something too sweet e dey run for belle”

And that’s why a loan limit serves as the maximum amount of money the lender will loan to a borrower based on several factors (income, creditworthiness, lifestyle). It helps reduce the issue of runaway borrowers and losses by checkmating the criteria for large amounts of loans. If you have ever wondered why you can’t get bigger loans and what you can do to change that. You should check this out, so you can increase your loan limit as well.

## Principal
This is the original amount of money without any interest and/or charges. It is the amount that ‘you say you want to’ borrow. For example, If you borrow N10,000,000 to buy a car and your loan amounted to N10,050,000. Your principal is N10,000,000. It is the main part of your loan.

3 ways you can make inquiries/solve your problems with Irorun

We’ve all been there. Just a few days until payday, and then a small, unexpected expense pops up. Maybe your phone’s data runs out mid-week, or you’re down to your last bus fare and need to stretch it until next week. It’s in these moments that even 5,000 naira can make all the difference, helping you stay on track without having to rely on friends, family, or pricey loan sharks.

## How 5,000 naira can keep things running smoothly
You might think, “What can 5,000 naira really do?” But for so many Nigerians, this small amount can handle essential, everyday needs that keep life moving.
- Data top-up for work and school: [Did you know that around 51% of Nigerians are active internet users?](https://www.statista.com/topics/7199/internet-usage-in-nigeria/) Data access isn’t just for fun. It’s how we work, attend virtual classes, and handle business transactions. Imagine your data running out during an important meeting or online class. A quick 5,000 naira top-up can save the day, keeping you connected without interruption.
- Covering last-minute transportation: [Studies show that 72% of Nigerians rely on public transportation](https://www.geopoll.com/blog/the-impact-of-the-lagos-rail-mass-transit-system-geopoll-report/). If you’re short on cash, missing a day of work or an important appointment just because of transport fare is frustrating. A short-term loan can make sure you get where you need to go, no hassle.
- Emergency groceries: The cost of living in Nigeria keeps going up, with [food prices rising as high as 37.7% this year alone](https://businessday.ng/news/article/nigerias-food-inflation-quickens-to-37-7-in-september/). Sometimes, 5,000 naira is all you need to fill in a week’s gap, picking up essentials like rice, bread, or vegetables to keep your household steady until payday.

Hello there Rockstar!

Today, we’d be telling you all you need to know about uploading a valid means of identification on the Irorun platform.

Let’s get to it right away

## It is mandatory to upload a valid ID
Getting a loan is a delicate process that requires you to be identified properly, and to do this you need to provide the right information alongside a valid means of identification.

At Irorun, it’s required that you upload a valid means of identification such as a driver’s license, national ID card, Permanent Voter’s Card or an international passport.

If you don’t have one of these four government-issued IDs, then you would be unable to register for an account on Irorun and apply for a loan with us.

## Loan application can be done immediately after ID upload
Usually, you would have to wait a while for your ID to be confirmed before you can take out a loan but with Irorun, you definitely don’t have to do that. Awesome right?

Irorun allows you the opportunity to apply for a loan as long as all needed information has been provided including but not limited to a valid means of identification.

There is no need to drag your feet and keep on waiting for a confirmation message. You can immediately apply for a loan once your valid ID and other necessary information have been uploaded. Read the next point to get the full gist.

## ID can be verified at the point of approving the loan
Remember, we said you can immediately apply for a loan after you successfully upload a valid means of identification. Well, that’s because Irorun can simultaneously confirm and approve the authenticity of your ID while also assessing your loan application. This way you don’t have to wait for a million years *yawns*  before getting that loan.

You also don’t need to worry, as this doesn’t mean that your ID won’t be approved if you don’t immediately take out a loan.

## Incorrect ID uploads could lead to loan decline even if eligible
As we earlier said, there are only four(4) valid IDs that can be approved by Irorun when you sign up with us. See Number 1 point.

It’s important that you make an effort to upload a valid and accepted type of ID to avoid getting your loan declined. Even if you turn out to be eligible for a loan with Irorun, a valid ID is simply mandatory.

## School IDs are not accepted as valid IDs for loan application on Irorun
Unfortunately, students are not exceptions to the rules when it comes to ID upload on Irorun. A student ID card is not considered a current and valid means of identification in our loan application process. Relax, we’ll tell you why…

Most student ID cards don’t contain all the information needed to confirm your identity and are very easy to forge ??, so students are urged to provide one of the four (4) accepted valid IDs to be considered eligible for a loan.

## Certain types of loans require work ID as proof
Although work IDs will not be required from you as a means of identification, certain types of loans require a valid work ID as a form of proof that you work.

A good example is the payday loan or the salary advance loan. These types of loans require you to provide your work ID as proof that you actually work where you say you do. In such cases, we implore you to comply and provide said ID.

Now that you’re well aware of the nitty-gritty details of successfully uploading a valid ID on Irorun, we can’t wait to get you started on your first loan. Reach out to us at support@irorun.com to get started ASAP!
