Quite honestly, everyone wants their loan approved but not everyone gets their loan approved. But that doesn’t have to be you, with these 5 hacks you’ll have your loan secured with ease.
Let’s get started!


## Check your credit score
Are there really any loan problems you may have that don’t involve your credit score? The answer is yes but in regards to ‘getting’ a loan, your credit score may be the biggest contributing factor to why you were declined.
So before you get subjected to rejection from your lender, check out what your credit score might state before going ahead to apply for that loan. When you do this you can easily identify any issue or error that may cause your loan application to get rejected and take steps to correct them.


## Provide accurate information
It may seem too tempting to provide false information when asked, to make yourself seem more eligible for a loan but all that does is make you get rejected a lot faster.
Digital lenders use automated algorithms to process loan applications which rely on accurate data that is also consistent. Providing false or ‘slightly altered’ data can result in your loan application being rejected or delayed. Lies and technology are a bad mix.


So your best bet is to provide information that is accurate and consistent so your loans can be processed and approved faster.


## Reduce your debt-to-income ratio
A high debt-to-income ratio may indicate that you have too much debt in contrast to your income, which can lower your chances of getting approved for a loan.
Lenders also use your debt-to-income to determine the loan amount you would be eligible to receive. You stand the risk of only being approved for a smaller loan regardless of what you want if your debt-to-income ratio is too high.
Reducing your debt-to-income ratio by paying off all existing debts before applying for a new loan can greatly improve your chances of being approved for a loan by a digital lender. Read more about your debt-to-income ratio and its impact on your loan application process.


## Build your credit history
If you don’t have much of a credit history, now is the time to fix that. Consider taking out a small loan and making regular on-time payments to build up your credit history.
People who have no credit history, have no credit record and as such, have no credit score and lenders consider a lack of a credit history a big risk, as they have no way of knowing if the individual asking for a loan is creditworthy.
A good credit history is a sign of creditworthiness, so take out some time to build one and your loan approval chances will be improved. You’re welcome!


## Research loan options
Another hack that would increase your loan approval chances is dependent on you. We’ll tell you how…
In order to get a better idea of the loan product fit for you, you ought to do proper research on the loan options made available by your prospective lender. This helps you pick a loan option that is already tailored to your specific needs and qualification, making your loan approval all that much faster.
Remember, proper research of your prospective lender will save you from so many troubles!

Do you want your loan approved? Try these 5 hacks!

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

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!
