Have you been struggling with navigating loan repayment?

All that struggle is about to be history

In this article, we’ll show you 4 ways to repay loans on Irorun.

Let’s dive in, shall we?

## Fund your Irorun virtual account via debit card
To use this method, you need a valid Mastercard or Visa card (unfortunately, Verve cards are not accepted) alongside a unique link created for you.

When you click on this link, you’ll be redirected to a payment gateway page where you’ll be required to input your card details which include: card number, card expiry date and CVV (the three-digit number on the back of your debit card).

Once that is done, a confirmation email or message will be sent to you with a code to verify that yes! you are the one making the transaction (the email or phone number will be the one connected to your card/bank account).

## Bank transfer to your Irorun virtual account
This might just be the most common method of funding an Irorun wallet account (right after using a debit card, of course).

This method is quite easy. When you originally log in to your Irorun web or mobile app as you, your Irorun-issued virtual account detail is on your dashboard (AKA Sparkle account).

Copy this account detail and input it into your bank app to make the transfer. The details given to you will include an account name and an account number unique to your Irorun account.

As long as you use the virtual account created for you upon your registration, you will be able to make transfers for your loan repayment.

## Fund your Irorun virtual account via USSD
This method is a lot like the bank transfer method but without the use of the bank app. Every bank has a unique USSD code that allows you to carry out bank transactions (transfers, bill payments, buying airtime etc.) without the bank app and need for data.

First, you copy your virtual account number from your dashboard when logged in and then you make a transfer to that account using your respective bank USSD code.

This method is great for individuals who can’t access mobile data and are short on time.

## Use the payment link
This fourth option is a combination of all three(3) options above. All Irorun users are assigned a unique link that is either used to make loan payments directly or indirectly as in friends and family. Here’s how others can help you pay back your Irorun loan.

Once this link is clicked, the user is shown three(3) options with which to make payments. These options are:

- Pay with bank transfer: Once you choose this method, you’ll be given your Irorun wallet account details to make a bank transfer.
- Pay with card: This method redirects you to a payment gateway page where you are required to input your card details.
- Pay with USSD: With this method, you’ll be required to make a bank transfer to your Irorun virtual account using your bank’s associated USSD code.

Now that you’re well acquainted with how to repay your loan. Let’s find out what could possibly go wrong if one fails to pay back their loan and also the benefits of timely loan repayment.

## Woes of avoiding your loan obligation
- A formal report will be made to the credit bureau and one ends up on a hard-to-wipe-off blacklist
- Court charges and multiple fines to pay, which end up being more of a financial constraint
- Ruined reputation and thus make it increasingly hard to get loans from other lenders
- Credit score takes a hit (as much as 110 points from just one missed payment) and this lowers one’s chance of getting favourable loan terms (large loan amounts and low-interest rates) and loans from other lenders in general
- Accumulation of extra debt in the form of late payment fees or prepayment fees (depending on your perceived offence).

## Benefits of timely loan repayment
- Credit score gets a boost which increases chances of favourable loan terms
- One gains a trustworthy reputation in the lending world, this increases the chance of lenders willing to trust you with their money
- One attains a more stable financial position allowing them to save up money, and have all debts cleared off while maintaining a good standard of living
- Less feeling of anxiety and stress (no more hide and seek with lenders).

4 ways to repay loans on Irorun

Howdy there Rockstar!

We understand that sometimes you feel you can’t afford to wait, but if it affects your safety, it’s worth waiting for. Whenever you want to provide a digital lender your personal information, we advise that you take a minute to breath, shake off that anxiety and keep these few things in mind.


## Secure connection
A secure connection is very important when doing any kind of online transaction as it prevents your accounts from being hacked and causing you to lose sensitive personal data.

Your browser plays its own role in defense as modern browsers are designed to detect and block access to unsecured websites. However, you should still take extra care to make sure you are safe. Here’s how to spot a secured website; look for a padlock symbol in the browser’s address bar and “https” in the URL. These red flags serve as a website’s mark of legitimacy, letting you know that the website you’re visiting is trustworthy and not a scam put up by online thieves.

When working with digital lenders, you may start protecting your personal information by being aware of these visual clues and insisting on a secure connection. It pays to take precautions to safeguard your sensitive information and online financial transactions in this day and age.

## Reputable lenders
It’s essential to make a conscious effort to only do business with well-known, trustworthy lenders when providing personal information to digital lenders. Considering these reputable lenders have been around for a while, it’s more likely that they have strong security measures in place to protect your private information.

It’s important to keep in mind that these lenders are usually subject to financial authority monitoring and have an interest in protecting the information of their clients. This adds another layer of security and accountability to your transactions. Selecting reputable lenders gives you the security of a reliable and accountable financial partner throughout your digital lending experience, in addition to improving your own data safety. Read more on how to spot responsible lenders.

## Strong passwords
When sharing personal information with digital lenders, it’s important to create accounts on loan websites with safe and unique passwords. Passwords should be made up of letters, numbers, and special characters (symbols) to make them hard to guess. It’s also a good idea to change your passwords regularly to reduce the risk of illegal access to your account.

Enabling two-factor authentication adds an extra level of security by requiring not only a password but also a temporary code or biometric verification before granting access to your account, making it much more difficult for potential cyber threats to compromise your sensitive financial data. _Make it tough for these bad guys_.

###Verify legitimacy
Before sharing personal info, verify the legitimacy of the website and lender. Check for customer reviews on the App store or Play store, official contact information, and physical addresses.

Take the time to thoroughly examine the loan’s terms and conditions. Consider the interest rate, repayment timeline, and any hidden fees. Knowing the fine print will allow you to make an informed decision while also protecting yourself from surprises.

Also, think about setting up a different email address and bank account for your online loan activities. This not only gives an additional layer of protection, but also simplifies your financial management by keeping your digital lender interactions separate from your personal finances.

## Beware of unsolicited offers
_Constant vigilance!_

It’s highly important to be vigilant while dealing with digital lenders in order to protect your personal information. Unsolicited loan offers that come through as an SMS or any other form of communication can be a warning sign.

Therefore, it’s advisable to take proactive control of your financial decisions by initiating loan applications through established and trusted websites. By doing this, you lower your chances of becoming victim of a scam and keep your sensitive information out of the wrong hands.

## Permission-based sharing
Sharing your personal information with people who truly need it is important when working with digital lenders. This involves sharing information such as your name, contact information, and financial background (BVN, bank statements and the likes) while remaining cautious not to give out too much.

Remember that sharing more information than necessary can put you in danger of identity theft or fraud. So, before you offer any information, consider and confirm whether it’s directly relevant to the lending process and if it’s absolutely necessary to share. _Keep your eyes peeled out for any foul-play_

What to keep in mind when providing personal information to a digital lender


“Imagine losing money this period?”

Terrible thought right?

That’s why Irorun curated 4 financial scams you should watch out for. Because how can you avoid what you don’t know about?

## Phishing scams
Perpetrators of these scams usually send an email or text message with a link that can be used to access sensitive and private information such as passwords, security details etc. Which could spell a disaster for you. These emails are usually tailored to look like they come from an authentic source. Werey dey disguise.

They often tell a story to trick one into clicking on a link or opening an attachment. It could come as an unexpected email or text message that looks like it’s from a company you know or trust, like a bank or a credit card or utility company.

The message could be from a scammer, who might say they’ve noticed some suspicious activity or log-in attempts), claim there’s a problem with your account or your payment information, or say you need to confirm some personal or financial information.

To avoid falling victim, you should watch out for links in unexpected emails or texts from unknown sources.

## Impersonation scams
Impersonation scams happen when an impersonator copies elements of a person, brand or organization for fraudulent purposes. These persons pretend to be someone else in a bid to deceive the unaware party. Another werey dey disguise.

These scams go beyond someone calling and asking for your bank details. Some of these scammers go as far as creating fake social media accounts or fake websites that copy the names, images, logos, or other identifying information of a person, brand or organization for deceitful purposes.

This is why it’s advisable to only access an organization’s website through a Web browser and not any link sent from a suspicious email address, look out for verified ticks on social media handles of public figures, brands etc. Remember it’s highly unlikely for government parastatals, brands or public figures to send you a personal message regarding your finances.

## Charity organization scam
This is another popular financial scam that you should watch out for. Charity fraud schemes seek donations for organizations that do little or no work — instead, the money goes to the scammer’s pocket. While these scams can happen at any time, they are especially prevalent after high-profile disasters or pandemics *coughs in COVID-19 relief fund*. Scammers often use tragedies to exploit individuals who want to help or seek help.

Scammers know how readily we open our hearts and wallets to those who served and those rebuilding their lives after tragedies and so they abuse this kindness. They’re especially active during the holidays, the biggest giving season of the year.

And that is why proper investigations should be carried out before giving out hard-earned money to any organization seeking funds.

## Lottery and job offer scam
This particular financial scam has to be the oldest in the book. Who doesn’t dream of winning a lot of money or a big prize? That’s why scammers still use the promise of a prize to steal money or personal information from unsuspecting individuals.

Scammers also present themselves as individuals or businesses posing to offer well-paying jobs or fast-money schemes. Whatever forms it comes as is usually just an attempt to access your sensitive details.

Unexpected prize and lottery scams work by asking you to pay some sort of fee to claim your prize or winnings from a competition or lottery you never entered. Smells like 419!

We understand that times are indeed hard and a new well-paying job may be what you desire, but we ask that you carry out proper research on any company that reaches out to you with claims of a job offer.

4 Financial scams to watch out for


“We’ve calculated your APR and emailed the xwyzgegbkirjztycb….do you have any questions?”

“None at all! Where do I sign?”

Eissss stop there!!!

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;

Read more: [How to boost your credit score](https://irorun.com/blog/how-to-boost-your-credit-score)

## 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?).

Read more: [5 reasons why your loan was declined](https://irorun.com/blog/5-reasons-why-your-loan-was-declined)

## 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.
