“Let me just drop urgent 2k here in case I need it one day” — that’s how you’ve dropped money with us for months now.

We understand the temptation that comes when you find an app that you can fund, you jump at the chance of depositing money into it as it gives you a place to save for rainy days.

However, we regret to inform you that [Irorun](http://irorun.com/) is not a savings app or platform to keep “extra” money. Irorun provides users with a wallet account not for saving but as a means of loan repayment.Therefore, any amount of money funded to the wallet should be done by only ACTIVE LOAN HOLDERS.

It’s okay if you’ve assumed otherwise, that’s why we’re here to remind you that [Irorun](http://irorun.com/) is not a savings app.

## Implication of funding your Irorun wallet account with no active loan
When you decide to use your wallet account as a means of saving, you stand the risk of getting your account deactivated. YES! deactivated.  Once the system detects that your wallet has been funded and registers that you do not have an active loan, your account will be deactivated because such actions are seen as fraudulent. It’s giving “I-didn’t-know-where-else-to-hide-this-money”.

The process to rectify an account deactivation can take from 48 to 72 hours due to various investigations that will be carried out to determine where the funds came from, after which the money would be sent to the source account (the account the money was sent from). The stress isn’t worth it abi?

Do you see how using Irorun as a savings app will prove to be an inconvenience to you in the long run? Don’t be dismayed. When [Irorun](http://irorun.com/) launches a savings feature, you’d be the first to know!

Remember, Irorun is not a savings app and is solely for LOANS and REPAYMENT.

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


“Do you know your rights?”

“Or do you just know you have rights?”

Yes! Read it again!

Both have very different meanings and more often than not, people only know they have rights but have no idea what these rights are.

In the world of MONEY, there are so many cunning individuals ready to take advantage of your lack of knowledge. (Sad but true).

And that’s why, Irorun wants to educate you so you never have to take rubbish again.

Here are seven rights that you must know as a borrower;

## Right to data privacy
We know you don’t read an app’s “Privacy policy” when you sign up.

But here’s something you should be reminded of; you have [a right to data privacy!](https://medium.com/@Theirorunapp/irorun-would-never-misuse-your-data-11f26da8ae4e)

You have control over how your data is accessed, collected, managed, shared and used and lenders handling your data in any contrary way is a violation of your right to data privacy. “What type of data is collected?” “Where will it be kept?” “How long will it be kept?” These are the questions that are associated with data privacy, and you as a borrower have every right to ask them.

Lenders are liable to pay a heavy fine for a breach of borrowers’ data privacy (That’s why Irorun is extraaa careful with your data). Don’t hesitate to report lenders for unethical practices.

## Right to be heard
Taking out a loan is not some forbidden thing! Never allow any lender to silence you! They’re not doing you a favor! It’s a business transaction with mutual benefits.

So, SPEAK! Sórósokè!

You have every right to be HEARD.

Lenders should never refuse to hear what you have to say, deflect your questions or wave you off and make you feel foolish for making inquiries. Run away from such lenders. The last thing you need when going over loan agreements is ambiguity. This shouldn’t only apply to right before taking out a loan. Even after you’ve taken out a loan, there are a lot of things that might happen during your repayment period, the lender should be able to address these issues as well.

Any lender who refuses to listen to what you have to say doesn’t care about your needs and will most likely make your loan experience tough.

Get yourself a lender who is willing to listen to you (like Irorun).

## Right to ethical treatment by the lender
In recent times, there has been a rise in cases of unethical treatment of borrowers by lenders, especially with cases of privacy compromise. Irorun wants you to know that they’re wrong! You should never be treated badly because you borrowed from a lender.

There is no acceptable reason; whether you are unable to pay back your loan or are asking for a term adjustment due to financial constraints, that a lender should treat you with violence, harassment and privacy violation. (Totally barbaric! Don’t take nonsense! But you sef pay back o!). A responsible lender will engage a defaulting borrower in accordance with the LAW. You have a right to be treated ethically and humanely by lenders.

If a lender is one who is fond of using harassment and the threat of violence and to try and force you to repay, [then you should report such unethical practices immediately](https://blog.lendsqr.com/how-to-report-lenders-for-unethical-practices/) and cut your losses. Desperation should not be a reason to remain with a bad lender. (Please avoid wahala na).

## Right to advance and sufficient notice
Just like a landlord can’t simply ask a tenant to move out without any advance notice, a lender cannot change the terms of a running loan without first giving them prior adequate notice.

As a borrower, you are entitled to advance and sufficient notice to prevent both you and the lender from getting into situations that puts you at odds.

Reminders for loan due dates or any change in terms should be communicated before penalties are implemented. Even notices should be given to inform you of what your penalty is and when it is due. Ignorance isn’t always bliss especially when it involves money!

## Right to request restructuring to your loan
Many factors can affect the status of your loan repayment and in these instances, you can request a restructuring or renegotiation of your loan to create a schedule for repayment that would benefit both you and the lender.

Such instances could be a job change or an unplanned emergency. (Life sure happens sometimes).

You can request to restructure your loan repayment if you fear you might not be able to meet up, to avoid default. This restructuring will involve either a loan holiday, rescheduled loan repayment or lowered interest rates. Approval typically depends on the lender’s terms.

## Right to the documentation and terms of loan offers
“Claims without evidence is null and void”

This is where documentation comes in. You should always make certain that you have records of all your loan activities with a lender. The documentation is your legal entitlement and should be provided by the lender.

Documentation that shows interest rates and fees associated with the loan, repayment period, penalty fees, proof of payment, and any other special condition should be given to you without hassle. (It’s your right sis!). Don’t let any lender try to scam you.

## Right to prepay your loan without penalties
Not all lenders have a prepayment penalty as it is something that is becoming less and less common.

As a borrower, you have a right to prepay your loan without penalty as long as it has been stipulated in the loan terms and agreed upon both by yourself and the lender. (Read the fine print!).

Most lenders tend to hide the prepayment clause in the fine print and if you are someone who tends not to read their terms completely then you might be setting yourself up for drags. (Again, read and re-read the fine print sisss! ).

…

Ensure you understand the terms of your contract, ask questions for clarification, make suggestions where necessary and avoid red flags of lenders that infringe on your rights!

Irorun wants you fully knowledgeable of your rights, so you can spot a bad lender with ease and FLEE!

Know your rights as a borrower

Quite honestly, everyone wants their loan approved but not everyone gets their loan approved. But that doesn’t have to be you, with these 5 hacks you’ll have your loan secured with ease.

Let’s get started!

## Check your credit score
Are there really any loan problems you may have that don’t involve your credit score? The answer is yes but in regards to ‘getting’ a loan, your credit score may be the biggest contributing factor to why you were declined.

So before you get subjected to rejection from your lender, check out what your credit score might state before going ahead to apply for that loan. When you do this you can easily identify any issue or error that may cause your loan application to get rejected and take steps to correct them.

## Provide accurate information
It may seem too tempting to provide false information when asked, to make yourself seem more eligible for a loan but all that does is make you get rejected a lot faster.

Digital lenders use automated algorithms to process loan applications which rely on accurate data that is also consistent. Providing false or ‘slightly altered’ data can result in your loan application being rejected or delayed. Lies and technology are a bad mix.

So your best bet is to provide information that is accurate and consistent so your loans can be processed and approved faster.

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

Lenders also use your debt-to-income to determine the loan amount you would be eligible to receive. You stand the risk of only being approved for a smaller loan regardless of what you want if your debt-to-income ratio is too high.

Reducing your debt-to-income ratio by paying off all existing debts before applying for a new loan can greatly improve your chances of being approved for a loan by a digital lender. Read more about your debt-to-income ratio and its impact on your loan application process.

## Build your credit history
If you don’t have much of a credit history, now is the time to fix that. Consider taking out a small loan and making regular on-time payments to build up your credit history.

People who have no credit history, have no credit record and as such, have no credit score and lenders consider a lack of a credit history a big risk, as they have no way of knowing if the individual asking for a loan is creditworthy.

A good credit history is a sign of creditworthiness, so take out some time to build one and your loan approval chances will be improved. You’re welcome!

## Research loan options
Another hack that would increase your loan approval chances is dependent on you. We’ll tell you how…

In order to get a better idea of the loan product fit for you, you ought to do proper research on the loan options made available by your prospective lender. This helps you pick a loan option that is already tailored to your specific needs and qualification, making your loan approval all that much faster.

Remember, proper research of your prospective lender will save you from so many troubles!
