Now that you've gone through the features of the app, in this article let me now share even more details and my experience with Tala;
Tala loans
Tala loans range from 1000 to 50,000. Now being a line of credit, a customer is allowed to take any amounts till the allocated limit gets exhausted within 30 days.
Can one take more than one loan from Tala? Yes. That's why it's a Line Of Credit (LOC).
Not everyone gets the same loan limit. One customer can get first time tala loan of 5000 while another can get a loan limit of 1000.
The majority however,get a loan limit of 1000 as tala first loan.
What's the Tala interest rate then? Tala loans have an interest rate of 4% to 34%.
A customer with a good credit score will get a low interest rate while a risky customer will be charged a high interest rate.

Tala SMS number is 21991 but it's not used to apply for loans. It's a communication SMS number for customers to get help from customer care.
How to withdraw Tala loans
Tala loans are disbursed directly to the borrower's M-Pesa account. The customer can then visit any nearest M-Pesa agent and ask to withdraw the money.
The good side of Tala is that the lender allows you the customer to put the money into any use as preferred by you.
Many take tala loans as working capital - to grow their businesses.
I used to do the same too.

A customer can choose to pay the whole loan amount due at once or pay partially.

ReplyDeleteTala is good when it comes to issuing loans to the common mwananchi. The only thing they should work on is their interest rates. They are a bit higher compared to other loan apps.
