QWIKLOAN Product Terms
These are the terms that apply to you if you decide to take out a mobile loan through the JUMO Mobile Money Platform (“Product Terms”) along with the Platform Terms. These Product Terms may change so please read them each time you apply for a mobile loan.
1 Applying for a loan
1.1 You may apply for a mobile loan from the finance institution named in your loan application (“Provider”) if you are 18 or older and have a dedicated MTN Mobile Money account.
1.2 When you apply for a loan we will give you the following information:
- the amount you decide to borrow (“Loan Amount”);
- the time you need to pay it back by (“Loan Term”)
- the rate of interest for the Loan Term and the actual interest amount (“Interest Amount”), if applicable;
- the amount you need to pay back, including the Interest Amount and other fees (“Repayment Amount”)
- the date by which you need to pay us back the Loan Amount, being the last day of the Loan Term (“Due Date”); and
- other fees, including the fee for not repaying the Repayment Amount by the Due Date (“Late Payment Fee”).
1.3 Despite the Interest Amount that may be charged during the Loan Term, the Provider confirms that you will not be charged an interest rate of more than 7% for any period of 6 months, or any part thereof, during which the Loan Amount remains outstanding.
1.4 You may accept or decline to take a loan from the Provider by following the instructions provided in the application menu on your mobile phone.
1.5 If the Provider approves your application, the Loan Amount will be paid into your MTN Mobile Money account.
1.6 The Provider does not have to give you reasons why they approve or decline your loan application.
2 Questions and complaints
If you have any complaints, queries or any suggestions with respect to your mobile loan please dial 100 on your mobile phone to contact the Customer Call Centre.
3 Paying back the Loan Amount
3.1 We or the Provider may take the Repayment Amount directly out of your MTN Mobile Money account after the Due Date or you can pay it back yourself (as set out in clause 3.4. below).
3.2 By accepting these Product Terms, you agree that MTN may enable JUMO to automatically debit your account on the Due Date with the Repayment Amount (or any other amount you owe the Provider).
3.3 A Late Payment Fee will be charged if you fail to repay the Total Repayment Amount in full within 2 days after the start of the Due Date.
3.4 You may choose to pay the Repayment Amount directly into the Provider’s account on or before the expiry of the Loan Term by using the repayment option on the loan menu. Even if you choose to pay back the Loan before the end of the Loan Term, we will still charge you the full Repayment Amount.
