Hey there Rockstar! Today we’ve simplified the SnapCash loan application process into 5 simple steps.

Come along let’s help you get your first loan:

## Set up your account
Visit the SnapCash website and follow the prompts to either download any of the apps and sign up or just sign up directly on the web app. Once you are signed up successfully, you also need to do the following as they are mandatory requirements to apply for a loan:

## Update your address and also add the details of your next of kin
Add a government-issued ID card such as a drivers’ license, international passport, etc. Add a valid and active debit card. We usually accept only Mastercard or Visa debit cards. Now you’re ready to apply for a loan with SnapCash.

## Apply for a loan
With the SnapCash app installed on your device (or you may be registered on the web app), it’s time to get your first loan.

Log on to your dashboard and click on the “Apply for a loan” icon.

Fill out the application form: You’ll be shown an application form, in which you’re required to fill in your relevant personal data. For example, name, age, email address, valid ID card, bank verification number etc.
Assess the form thoroughly and ensure you fill in the correct data.
Submit loan application form.
Complete the final verification process

Once you have submitted your loan request, it would be in pending status. You would then get an email from SnapCash stating that your documents have been received, however, you would need to speak with the SnapCash loan team to complete the final stage of verification. The number to call would be in the email sent by SnapCash. This final stage is necessary to help us curb the issue of identity theft or lending to scammers using the identity of innocent and unaware individuals.

Please note that leaving a voicemail or voice message does not count as a call to the SnapCash representative.

## Kindly wait for our feedback email
Once you’re done with the final stage i.e the phone call verification, look out for one final email with either an approval or denial of your loan request. This final email will only be sent to you if you have completed the phone call verification.

Kindly note that SnapCash operates on an algorithm-driven database and this means that after your credit profile is vetted, you’re matched to the loan option that is the best fit for you.

A simple guide to the SnapCash loan application process

Some months back, we broke down in bits all the nitty gritty details of the newly signed student loan act. We helped you fully understand just what the government had put into law and what it meant for Nigerian students. Today, we bring you an update as to when the official commencement of this act will take place.


## Here’s a brief recap on the student loan act
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu signed the Access to Higher Education Act 2023 into law on Monday, June 12, which was a significant decision. He fulfilled his promise by starting a test student loan program. The program aims to help more people access education, regardless of their background.


The “Student Loan Act” aims to provide Nigerian students in college with interest-free loans. Additionally, the Act establishes an Education Loan Fund, designed to assist Nigerians in funding their higher education interests.
On June 14, 2023, the government promised to prepare for the student loan program to start between September and October 2023. Since the announcement, there has been no updates or progress on the scheme.


Of course, we know the government has been working tirelessly to see this bill come into play. Good things take time after all.


Many people may have expected the delay in commencement, but the recent tuition hikes at many higher institutions were unexpected. Students and parents from the affected higher institutions have expressed worry and anxiety as the combination of increased tuition costs and the postponed introduction of the loan program has created financial instability amongst many. Coupled with the many other hikes in various spheres of the Nation.


## Here comes the good news
Many Nigerians are skeptical about the bill’s implementation, given the government’s history of poor follow-through. This skepticism is understandable. President Tinubu announced that the government will start giving student loans to Nigerians in January 2024.


At a summit in Abuja, the President announced plans to expand the student loan program to help Nigerians, easing their difficulties and reaffirming his commitment to this goal.


David Adejo, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education, confirmed that the Nigerian government will begin offering student loans in the 2023/2024 school year. This announcement was made during a meeting with the House of Representatives Committee on Student Loans.


However, he dismissed rumors that federal universities have increased fees following the enactment of the Students Loan Act. We beg to differ.
As we await more action and less talking from the Government, we keep our fingers crossed and hope the implementation is more effective than we expect.


Now, fellow Nigerians, the ball is in your court. Share your thoughts on the latest update, we’d love to know what you think about the student loan act. Do we just stick to fast loan apps for educational loans or consider the Government’s new initiative. Send us a message now at hello@snapcash.ng!.


What’s next for the newly adopted student loan act?

Hello Rockstar!!


How’s the economy at your end? We understand these days might be tougher than others and we thought to bring some light to the beginning of the tunnel.
If you ever get stuck in a situation where you need that extra help to fulfill your loan obligation, you can always turn to family and friends to help (well, those that have money to spare) and as such we give you 3 ways your friends and family members can help you pay back your loan with SnapCash.


## Direct transfer
When you are in need of money to pay back your loan and have had a nice long discussion with that Uncle (or friend) that wants to help, you can send them your bank account details so that they can directly send you the money.
From there you can now wire the pending loan amount to your SnapCash virtual account. This is everyone’s choicest method, the individual gets in touch with a friend or family member who’s kind enough to offer help, and they send the money to them so that the individual can make the payments themself.


## Share your SnapCash virtual wallet
This method can work well alongside direct transfer. Instead of asking a friend or family to send the money to your bank account, you can simply provide them with your SnapCash-issued virtual account number. They can directly send the money to your virtual account and then you can pay it back with ease. This method is especially helpful as a means to avoid any extra transfer charges your bank might slap you with.


## Share your payment link
Another method others can use in helping you pay back your loan is the payment link method. This link takes the friend or family to a webpage created for the specific purpose of paying money into your SnapCash virtual account. A payment link is usually single-use, so it can’t be used more than once.


## Payment links tend to have many purposes but in this sense, they offer an individual a way to clear up a loan debt. Remember, if you ever get stranded in paying back a loan at SnapCash, you have the option to share the payment link with a friend or family member willing to help you out.
…
At SnapCash, we understand that some days are tougher than others and you can have great intentions to pay back your loan, but life just happens.
We urge that you don’t keep us in the dark or be unruly to us, send us a message at hello@snapcash.ng and find out the options available to you.


Best of luck rockstar!
