“I hear say those loan apps dey…”

We know you might have heard some hearsay about microloan(small loan) apps and you’re unsure if there are any good options left for you.

Today, [Irorun](http://irorun.com/) wants to clear the air and separate myths  from facts.

## Myth 1: You need a high credit score to get a microloan
It’s a well-known fact that you need to have a high credit score to qualify for a large loan but does the same apply to microloans? Many individuals seem to believe so and therefore shy away or believe that they are unable to take out microloans.

## Fact 1: You can get a microloan as a new borrower
Contrary to word on the streets, it can be said that microloans were made specifically with NEW borrowers in mind because of the ease of paying back. It also simultaneously caters to your needs and boosts your credit score. A double win right!

## Myth 2: Interest rates on loan apps are significantly higher
Some people get discouraged from using loan apps due to a multitude of reasons, one of which is the belief that interest rates tend to be higher when loans are taken out using the loan app.

## Fact 2: Loan apps provide flexibility of interest rates
Irorun would have you know that the interest rate on loans is determined by several factors including but not limited to loan amount and purpose. [The Irorun loan app provides](https://irorun.com/) flexible interest rates that ensure repayment is no hassle.

## Myth 3: Loan apps are illegal and/or fraudulent
Sadly, many have fallen prey to scammers disguised as microlenders and this has further increased the belief that loan apps are illegal and are working outside the law under pretenses. But can this be considered the truth about ALL loan apps?

## Fact 3: Lenders who are authorized, registered and ethical exist
“Two truths can co-exist”

Yes! Some malicious lenders work under pretenses to steal from others.

Yes! There are also AUTHORIZED and ETHICAL Lenders with a history of giving out loans, respecting borrowers’ privacy and maintaining good relationships ([Irorun](https://irorun.com/) is one of such).

Before you carry out any loan transactions with your prospective lender, please conduct proper investigations to determine their authenticity.

If you’ve had contact with an unethical lender, [here’s how you can report them](https://blog.lendsqr.com/how-to-report-lenders-for-unethical-practices/).

## Myth 4: All loan apps are the same
“A loan app is a loan app, it doesn’t matter if it has a different name” — Somebody who hasn’t tried [Irorun](http://irorun.com/).

The loan app ecosystem has had a lot of bad press due to the unethical practices of malicious lenders and so many believe that all loan apps are the same.

## Fact 4: Loan apps are not all the same
Despite loan apps having a general purpose of giving out loans, they are not all the same.

On one hand, some loan apps are hassle-free and take a small amount of time to work out their processes *coughs Irorun*. While on the other hand, others have a way of causing stress during repayments and hiding extra fees. *side-eye*

In the same light, not all loan apps offer the same opportunities; Some apps, like Irorun, offer microloans of #5,000–#50,000, while some offer large loans and others offer a mix of both.

## Myth 5: Loan apps steal your data and harass you when you can’t pay
Unfortunately, this is common with a lot of unethical loan apps. This behavior has built up the fear of taking out loans due to the belief that your data will be used to harass you and those closest to you.

## Fact 5: Ethical lenders will never breach your data privacy
Although this may sound cliché, [Irorun](http://irorun.com/) would like to apologize to any borrower out there who has been faced with the despicable unethical behavior of some lenders and also appeal to you that we would NEVER breach your privacy in any way or harass you and your loved ones.

We would like to assure you that there are ethical loan apps out there that would never cause you distress. [Again, you should know that you can always report unethical lenders who breach your privacy](https://blog.lendsqr.com/how-to-report-lenders-for-unethical-practices/).

We hope we’ve been able to dispel some of the myths held against microloan apps.

Myths vs. Facts of microloan apps


Have you ever found yourself with money that you didn’t need anymore? I doubt it. We all need money.

How about a loan you didn’t need urgently anymore?

…

Now, Imagine a scenario like this:

A health emergency comes up and the bills are due soon. You decide that the best thing to do at that moment is to apply for a small loan, that’ll help clear up the hospital bills.

You find a responsible lender, apply for a loan and days later your loan is approved and sent to you…

But moments after, you receive a message from a family member telling you that they’ll pay the bill.

That’s great but now you’re stuck with a loan that you no longer need, what do you do?

In this case, there are only two things that can be done, and this article will show you.

You can decide to:

## Return the money
From the moment you sign the loan document, a binding contract exists between you and the lender. And every contract has terms attached to them including terms of dissolution.

This means that to return the loan amount without repercussions, you must read the fine print of the loan terms and ensure your lender is good with the new situation. Don’t transfer the money to your lender without proper documentation and agreement on both sides!

Your lender has most likely gone through a lot of effort to get your loan to you and as such, they want to be paid for their time, this is where the origination fee comes in. It’s taken from your total loan amount (i.e. if you borrow #20,000 and the origination fee is #2,500, you will be given #17,500, but you’re to pay the full loan amount of #20,000). Again, read the loan terms and make informed decisions.

There’s also a possibility of a prepayment penalty (if specified in your loan terms) which usually takes the form of a percentage of the loan balance or the interest rate that will be missed out by the lender. (This prepayment fee varies from lender to lender). [Read more on other loan fees including prepayment fees.](https://creditnigeria.com/types-of-loan-fees)

## Spend the money
Knowing that you may have to put in additional money on your loan if you prepay(i.e pay before your repayment date) might convince you to spend the money on something else. This isn’t a bad idea as long as you’re willing to meet up with your repayment date.

If you have taken out an unsecured loan, your lender is not concerned about the end goal of the loan amount, so you have free rein over how you choose to spend the loan. They’re only concerned when you fail to meet up with your repayment date. In cases where one fails to pay back their lender and tries to outsmart them, they’ll be reported to the credit bureau and their credit score will take a hit. [Here are some of the consequences of loan default.](https://medium.com/@Theirorunapp/consequences-of-ignoring-your-loan-obligation-e2ffb939c601)

With a secured loan, your valuables that were placed as collateral will be at stake if you default on your loan. Any attempt to skip out on a loan puts you and your guarantor (if for any reason you needed one to qualify for the loan) in trouble which will affect both your credit history negatively.

…

As always we want you well-informed before any key financial decision is made. Remember, whatever you decide has to be in line with the loan terms you had with your lender.

What happens when you take out a loan but don’t use it?

The shortcomings of traditional credit scoring methods are now painfully clear in the ever-changing world of financial services. Although traditional methods were once effective, they now fail to capture the full financial picture of borrowers, leaving many creditworthy individuals behind. The demand for alternate means to determine borrower eligibility has grown as we move toward a more connected and digital environment. Hurray technology! 

The foundation of traditional credit scores is past history from credit bureaus, with an emphasis on factors like prior credit utilization, payment history, and outstanding debts. Although this method has been the norm for many years, several shortcomings make it difficult to appropriately evaluate present-day borrowers. As an illustration, it might miss those with poor credit histories, recent immigrants, or people who choose to use cash instead of credit cards, leaving them with unmet needs and shut out of the lending ecosystem. Too limiting if you ask us.

Digital lenders seized the opportunity to rethink borrower assessments after spotting flaws in traditional credit scoring. We’ve enhanced loan eligibility with advanced technology and data analytics for a more comprehensive approach. They bridge the gap and provide financial opportunities to those overlooked by traditional institutions by redefining loan eligibility criteria. We did a thing, didn’t we?

## Factors considered by digital lenders beyond credit score
Now that you know we’ve expanded the playing field, we’ve curated 5 key factors beyond credit score you must know about before applying for a loan.

## Income stability and employment history
Digital lenders recognize a borrower’s steady income and employment history as signs of their ability to manage finances. A steady income indicates the borrower can likely repay the loan on time. An individual’s employment history also shows their job stability and growth, affecting their ability to repay debts.

## Cash flow analysis
Digital lenders take a more thorough approach by examining the borrower’s cash flow, compared to traditional lenders who mostly rely on credit scores. This involves reviewing earnings and expenditures over a set period, usually using bank statements and financial records. This helps digital lenders understand a borrower’s spending habits, financial health, and cash flow by examining inflows and outflows. This evaluation allows us to determine whether one can handle loan repayments in addition to other financial obligations. See why we require a bank statement?

## Purpose of the loan
An individual’s intended use for a loan is a significant aspect of the evaluation process. Risk and potential repayment vary depending on the purpose of the loan. For instance, a loan sought for urgent medical care may have different risk considerations than one meant for business expansion. To match loan terms with borrower needs and reduce default risk, digital lenders consider the loan’s purpose.

## Repayment history with the lender
The repayment history of borrowers who have a preferred digital lender carries a lot of weight. Reliability is shown through timely payments, boosting the borrower’s chances for future loans with better terms. This focus on past behaviour encourages a cooperative connection between the lender and the borrower. Long-term relationships are not built in one day. Start one with us today.

## Social and online presence
Our digital footprints are everywhere

Through a person’s online activities and interactions, people leave behind a significant digital footprint. Digital lenders sparingly implore this information in their review process. Lenders assess a borrower’s actions, reputation, and creditworthiness through their online and social media presence. Showcasing responsible financial practices and boosting creditworthiness can be achieved through a strong online presence. A lender who’s not scared to lose money to a ghost is likely to be a loan shark in disguise.

This shift from relying solely on credit scores enhances the accessibility and inclusivity of financial services. It enables lenders to serve a wider range of borrowers, including individuals with unstable financial circumstances or little credit history.

One loan after another we are providing chances to those previously underserved and considered not creditworthy by traditional banking institutions.

How digital lenders evaluate borrower eligibility

Life is full of surprises, and not all of them are pleasant. There are times when an unexpected expense can turn a well-planned budget upside down, and when that happens, you may find yourself needing a quick 20,000 Naira loan. Whether it's covering a medical emergency, a minor home repair, or simply bridging the gap until payday, having access to quick funds can make all the difference.

But where can you secure a 20,000 Naira loan without the hassle of collateral or lengthy approval processes? One standout option is Irorun, a trusted platform offering personalized solutions for salary earners and individuals in need of quick financial relief.

## The growing demand for quick loans in Nigeria
[According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), about 33% of Nigerians are either unemployed or underemployed](https://nigerianstat.gov.ng/elibrary/read/1241455), making financial stability a challenge for many households. Moreover, [the World Bank reports that over 40% of Nigerians live below the poverty line, earning less than N377 per day](https://databankfiles.worldbank.org/public/ddpext_download/poverty/987B9C90-CB9F-4D93-AE8C-750588BF00QA/current/Global_POVEQ_NGA.pdf). These economic realities make even small financial emergencies potentially devastating, especially for those without access to savings or formal credit systems.

Quick loans have become a vital financial tool for millions of Nigerians, helping to manage short-term expenses without sinking into debt. For salary earners, a N20,000 loan can be the difference between meeting an urgent need and falling into financial distress.

Remember, loans should be used to cover immediate and necessary expenses, such as medical bills, repairs, or other emergencies. Avoid using loans for non-essential purchases, as this could lead to financial strain. [Borrow responsibly from Irorun today](https://lendsqr.com/lenders/irorun).
