Sometimes all you really need is a small and quick fix to sort out that financial crisis…

And that’s where a MICROLOAN comes into play.

There are a lot of benefits associated with taking out a microloan and today we’ll be exploring 5 of these benefits:

## Easy application
If you think about it, you are more likely to give a friend 5k if they ask for it rather than give them 500k. True or true?

It’s the same with lenders; they’ll be more likely to approve a small loan than a larger one especially when it’s your first or second time borrowing from them. Small loans tend to be less of a hassle considering plenty of documentation and interviews are not required unlike with a larger loan. Larger loans require a lot of documentation, interviews and a higher level of loan worthiness and therefore are harder to apply for.

## Credit history/score building
One key benefit of a microloan is the ease of being able to pay back with little to no inconvenience.

Now picture this scenario; You take out a microloan that you are dead sure you will be able to pay back and keep this cycle for, say about 7 months. Your credit history is going to be very long and ATTRACTIVE to lenders, won’t it?

Why?

Because you have a LONG history of paying back your loan on time.

This is a great strategy for building your credit score and giving you a packed credit history (Remember, with a clean and extensive credit history you become eligible for LARGER loans). [Here are some other ways to boost your credit score](https://medium.com/@Theirorunapp/how-to-boost-your-credit-score-e723bd2ce497).

## No collateral required
A commonly spread myth about loans is the assumption tHat eVerY lOan rEquiRes cOllaTerAl. This isn’t true, some loans, especially micro-loans require no collateral.

No one is going to take away your car if you take out a 20k loan. Collateral is mostly required for large loans and has to be of equal or greater value than the loan amount. Microloans can easily be paid back, so collateral tends to not be a requirement. This means that you can easily get that loan to build up your credit score without the feeling of impending doom hovering above you.

## Predictable repayment schedule
Microloans, because of their size, tend to have a standard repayment method. This is because most microloans are installments and have a fixed schedule attached to them. Repayment dates are usually seven days after taking the loan.

If you time it right, you will always be able to repay your loan on time, this means that you can predict the repayment date, take out loans accordingly and have control of your finances. Win-win.

## Fixed interest rate
Microloans tend to have a fixed interest rate, there will be no changes to the interest rate even in the case of inflation, so when you take out the loan you can calculate how much your interest will be before the due date. This combined with a predictable repayment schedule can make your loan journey very enjoyable. No surprises there abi?

With much larger loans, the interest rate is dependent on the type and terms of the loan, a fixed-interest loan will keep the interest predictable but a variable loan would be unpredictable as it could rise/fall with inflation/deflation.

5 Benefits of a microloan AKA small loan


Do you have a [good credit score?](https://www.cnbc.com/select/what-is-a-good-credit-score/)

Or you don’t want to talk about it…

A credit score is a three-digit number, typically issued by a credit bureau, that helps lenders to determine your creditworthiness. Credit scores are generated to reflect the credit risk associated with borrowers; basically, the probability that you will repay the loan.

The higher your credit score, the better. A good credit score helps you get lower interest rates, puts you on the best loan terms with lenders, increases your chances of securing a larger loan and overall increases your creditworthiness.

And that’s why Irorun is bringing you easy and fast ways to boost yours today!

## Start with small loans
Now you have to know that a credit score does not just show up out of nowhere. To get one (or to begin the process of building one) you have to take out loans.

“But I thought I can not get loans if I do not have a credit score?”

No, no, You can not get LARGE LOANS if you do not have a good credit score or no credit score at all. That is why you have to start with small loans, little amounts that should give you no trouble while paying back. (Remember, the goal here is to boost your credit score).

Furthermore, you can sign up with AUTHORIZED and ETHICAL lenders like Irorun that you can apply for small loans from, without hassle, repay in no time at all and this helps to boost your credit score. (What are you waiting for?).

## Make repayments on time
As much as taking out loans helps to boost your credit score, it doesn’t mean much if you refuse to make repayments on time, your credit score is bound to go lower if you keep on making late repayments and this is one way you can boost your credit score faster.

Your credit score helps to determine your creditworthiness, so doing right by your loan and making your repayment on time will give you a reputation as a very good borrower as well as boost your credit score. It’s for this reason, that if you are unable to make your repayments on time, inform your lender before the due date so that renegotiation can be made (Amaka don’t run away with our money).

## Avoid round-tripping or sweeping
Your money story nor clear finish –Your lender.

Round tripping or sweeping is that fishy process where one immediately withdraws or transfers money that comes into one’s account the moment it arrives usually to places where their spend pattern cannot be analyzed (Egbon it’s giving yahoo-yahoo).

Your lender likes being able to see through your bank statement to get a read on what your spend and gain pattern looks like(A.K.A wetin dey chop your money and wetin dey give you money).

So a bank statement that simply contains credit and then an immediate debit does not look good. It seems sketchy, doesn’t it?

This can cause you problems with your bank and affect your credit score because that account’s bank statement cannot be used to properly assess your eligibility for a loan.

## Avoid negative account balance
There are times when your account balance reads its lowest or does not have enough for what you need so you decide to take an overdraft (this in and of itself holds no issue), a problem pops up when you are unable or refuse to pay that overdraft and your account ends up reading in the negative.

Remember that an overdraft is still a type of loan that banks give and that a refusal or inability to pay lowers your credit score.

In the same sense, banks also have a habit of taking their charges from your account even though it reads almost empty, this puts it in the negative and thus affects your credit score.

## Check for error and report any mistakes on your credit report
A credit report is a record of a borrower’s credit history from different sources e.g banks, credit card companies, government agencies etc…

You must be wondering how you can get yours?. The good news is that you’re eligible to get one free credit report per year, and you can get yours when you apply with [First Central](https://firstcentralcreditbureau.com/), [CRC](https://www.crccreditbureau.com/product/crc-self-enquiry?coupon=FREEREPORT&ref=_home) or [CreditRegistry](https://creditconnection.creditregistry.ng/).

An instance where you identify an error on your credit report, you must immediately contact the credit bureau with your details;

1. Your full name
2. Phone contact
3. BVN
4. Gender
5. Evidence of payment
6. Letter of non-indebtedness

As long as you’re able to prove that you’re not indebted to any lender, you can [repair you history with the credit bureaus](https://medium.com/@Theirorunapp/how-to-repair-your-history-with-the-credit-bureaus-c5ffd45a52f2).

As a rule of thumb; Request for your credit report at least once a year, check for errors and report accordingly so that the proper corrections can be made to prevent future grievances with your lender.

…

Now, you know how to boost your credit score. Don’t you think it’s time to start with the first step?

How to boost your credit score


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

In the lending industry, there are concerns about legal and ethical boundaries regarding loans. These concerns arise when borrowers are don’t make timely payments of their loan.

In Nigeria today, numerous lenders have maligned individuals who defaulted on personal loans, going beyond the usual reports to the credit bureau.***

Lenders should not engage in such unethical actions, but when they do, they often escape accountability because borrowers are unaware of their rights, including their repayment terms.

Today, we address the issue of lenders slandering loan defaulters, focusing on what borrowers themselves can do in such situations.

## Document the slander
A lender with malicious intentions is likely to start throwing threats around in hopes of damaging your reputation. They may go as far as carrying out these threats; sending derogatory messages to your phone contacts, unsavory posts about you on social media platforms. etc

If you ever find yourself in such a dilemma, here’s what you should do: meticulously record all derogatory messages (or images) sent to you or posted online by any means. This includes details like loan amounts, credit scores, and credit reports if relevant. Capture them as a screenshot or screen record, but make sure to have it stored. This will serve as your evidence in case the situation escalates further.

## Review the loan agreement
Revisit the loan terms and agreement, and read it thoroughly. Carefully examine the fine print for any hidden details that might allow the lender to commit slander.

Check for any clause related to communication and dispute resolution, this can help create a strategy on how you can approach the lender with complaints about their ill-treatment.

## Contact the lender
Now that you’ve read the fine print, you are armed with everything you need to confront the lender and control the situation. Note that control does not equal aggressiveness. Going at your lender aggressively would only mean they’d reciprocate with the same energy.

Address the issue calmly. Seek clarification on their reasoning for posting derogatory content or the agreement terms allowing such actions. Request for the removal of all derogatory content and rebuttal of all slanderous statements.

## File a complaint
Working things out with the lender does not make the issue settled, contrary to popular belief. Regardless of a resolved issue, we strongly advise that you report the lender to the proper regulatory bodies (credit bureaus, FCCPC***) overseeing financial institutions especially if the lender’s actions go against industry standards as they may continue to carry out the acts with other unsuspecting borrowers. Be your brother’s keepers.

## Seek legal advice and redress
Consult legal advice to understand your rights as a borrower***; this can help you build a solid case of slander against the unethical lender. Even if the lender repents, your reputation has already been tarnished, and slander can negatively impact various aspects of your life.

While lenders have the right to report defaulters to credit bureaus, slanderous actions are not legal. Upholding legal and ethical standards in debt collection is very important, if at any time you feel violated by a lender’s actions don’t hesitate to follow the steps above and see redress.

As always, you’re safe with Irorun as your ethical lender. Send us a message now at support@irorun.com and let’s get you started with the right loan.
