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!

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!


3 ways others can help you to pay back your loan

Hi there! SnapCash here again. Today, we’re answering the age-long question of our valued user — YOU.


In this article, we provide clear answers to the question — ‘What does it mean when my loan is pending?”


Sadly, the misconception some SnapCash users have is that; their loan application is denied because their documents are pending. They see that even when all stages of their verification/application are complete (or sometimes not), their SnapCash dashboard still reads as “pending”. Therefore they conclude their loan application has been rejected.


But, here’s the thing; a pending loan application doesn’t translate to rejection. There are a couple of reasons why your loan is still pending…


## Final verification check
Until this final verification check is done. Your SnapCash dashboard will read as “pending”
To keep your data safe and prevent identity theft, the SnapCash loan application process has checks in place that must be completed before your loan can be approved and the “Phone call verification” check is one of them.


After you apply for a loan, you’re instantly sent an email with a number you’re required to call and speak with a SnapCash representative as a means of further verification. Once you complete this process, the SnapCash system carries out additional checks before approving or denying your application.


During this period, your app dashboard shows “pending”. This doesn’t mean your loan has been rejected but rather your documents and identity are being vetted.
Although, if for any reason you fail to carry out the phone call verification, your dashboard will continue to show “pending” with no change forthcoming.
After some time, SnapCash will contact you via email to inform you that the phone call verification has not been carried out and inquire as to whether you would like to cancel or continue the loan application.


## Incomplete loan application/SnapCash vetting process
Another likely reason why your SnapCash dashboard still reads “pending” may be because of an incomplete or incorrect application. Not completing your application process or putting in invalid personal details may put the whole process at a standstill.
It could also be that SnapCash is vetting your documents and checking your credit profile. So we can be in the safe zone as well. Remember, any lender that’s not afraid to lose their money is a walking red flag .
Know that it’s never SnapCash’s intention to cause our loyal users any form of distress and that’s why our loan application is seamless and fast.


## Bonus point
Here’s one final misconception to fact-check — a pending loan status does not mean that your loan repayment date has started counting!
Let us put your mind at ease now, your loan only begins to count after it’s been approved and your loan disbursed.
…
As always, we’re available to answer your questions — whether it’s to confirm facts or simply make inquiries you can always reach out to us at hello@snapcash.ng!!
