Quick Loans Vs Affordable Loans

quick loans

How much are you willing to pay for a loan?

Bobola needs approximately N300,000 to complete the purchase for a 2012 Toyota Camry. He has saved up for the past year, but he must make the payment within a week, or he loses the sweetest deal he has found. His sister just got married so she is too busy dodging calls for balance payments from her vendors to even talk to him. His parents already offered him a 2008 Toyota Camry – read Muscle – that he has refused; they will not be indulging any excesses from him. He would rather not borrow from friends because he has already bragged about ownership at their last hangout. What to do?

One morning, he is staring out the window of his colleague’s vehicle trying to ignore the kicks in the back of the chair from her 3-year-old son. Right on the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge he sees an ad on those fancy digital billboards with the words: Up to N4M from 3 to 12 months… no collateral… receive instant value… apply now. He quickly sits up and thinks to himself, “Perfect!!!”

He pulls out his phone and looks the company up right quick. He can barely contain his excitement as he punches in N400,000 so he can have some spare change to settle other things. He picks a payback period of 9 months, doing the quick math in his head of about N45,000 per month. The next thing he sees when he clicks ‘Enter’ shocks him. Over 9 months, he will pay back approximately N57,000 per month totaling N516,231.

He can’t believe his eyes; almost 29% interest rate. How can this be? So, he starts to dig until he comes across FINT – recommended by an existing subscriber on the peer-to-peer lending platform. He looks around on the borrower side of things and sees that he can get a loan of the same amount and pay back over a 6-months period. If he gets a loan and pays back at 2% per month (12% for 6 months), he will pay N74,666 per month totaling N448,000 for 6 months (he saves N68,231).

What has happened here? The battle of quick loans vs affordable loans. With quick loans, you enjoy instant value and essentially no credit checks. All you must do is make a request, maybe authorize a direct debit on your account on the repayment date and you’re good to go. With affordable loans, you will likely have to undergo some checks to determine that you are indeed creditworthy, especially when its other people’s money that will be lent out to you. Certainly, they both have their benefits; one will just cost you more than the other 9 times out of 10.

You’re probably wondering why the cost is different. We believe it’s an issue of risk. If the lender is going to take the risk on you that you will indeed have funds in the account once repayment day comes based on virtually no history or evidence, you need to be prepared to pay a premium for that. Whereas, with more affordable loans, the necessary due diligence has been taken care of.

The question now is: would you rather have quick but pricey cash or simply affordable cash?

  1. i will like to request a loan that i can pay in 12month am a business owner pls reply to this mail if possible i can get loan pls i need to boost my business before printing season start pls reply to this mail or call my line sir/ma :- xxxxxxxx pls i will be glad to hear back from u

  2. this is good and low interest rate, i wish i just get 20k urgent for part of my children’s school fees

  3. Affordable loans are better. But sometimes i wonder if the criteria used for online checks are objective enough. Potential borrowers get turned down within 5 minutes just by completing an online check.

  4. Mere looking at this issue not really complicating because I have offered loan from different loan scheme of which i committed to their payment when due. So therefore, would appreciate it if u can actually grant my request on quick loan not affordable loan.
    Thank you.

  5. Quick loan is better. Some have poor financial history due to slow progress in business and they need money to diversify into something more viable that will enable him pay back with ease and have improvement in his finances but he gets denied because his financial history shows he is not credit worthy. This makes the rich to get richer and the poor has no chance of coming out of poverty. Come up with a system that gives financial support to customers with viable business plans and your brand will be highly appreciated and the quality of life will improve for many.

  6. I needed a loan but I don’t have your requirements and dt is I couldn’t complete the form. I needed #400,000 to start a business.

  7. That’s a good idea from fint if fint can meet such a need then it’s going to be the best lending platform the ideal for the best delivery to effect good response from client is a quick and affordable loan trust me the money will be payback on time if it meets the immediate need for loan quickly

  8. I have never been given loan and I cant comment, well despite all trial its not going.
    1. Quick loan maybe all I need at a time to solve a problem but not affordable because I might be having an income month end that is surplus
    2. Affordable might be am short for a while and need to carry out a project so I don’t need quick loan but affordable loan.

    situation will determinate what you want

  9. my name is noah ismaila abayomi i work with xxx hospital limited xxx owodunni ikeja have had about fint loan but i dont know how to go about it bcus i need loan my phone num is xxxxxx

  10. Like you have put above both might be good but has side effect. As for me I will rather go for affordable one with limited rates rather than do the high interest because they offered more period for repayment which is something people are not seeing from right angle that is also a means of generating more fund from the borrowers.

  11. If you borrow any money from your company and I won’t disappoint you and I promise to pay back on time

  12. Good evening FINT
    Thanks for this opportunity, if its going to be for real, I would rather go for the Quick loan. Because I ‘m in need of it badly right now.
    Thanks.

    1. Yes, we agree. You need to earn income before investing, but you need to be conscious about investing otherwise you spend all you earn

  15. The rate (2%) seems good and affordable.
    The issue is the turn around time and do you do same day disbursement ?
    I keep getting trying to access it but your FINT score and the request to pay for some risk assessment score or so (can’t even remember the terminology).

    Having gotten the FINT score, with a C score, do i qualify for a loan from you? Or is the assessment procedure still not concluded. ?

    1. Hello Mohammed,

      We are pleased to inform you that you passed the risk assessment test.

      You may now proceed to pay the verification fee of N3000 which covers the cost of physically verifying your addresses and also the verification of your documents.
