Description
Mkobo
Mkobo is a fully licensed Microfinance Bank by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). They focus on small emergency loans with short tenors to help borrowers meet unplanned and unexpected expenses such as hospital bills, car or house repair, family bereavement or any other emergency situation.
Their minimum loan is N5,000 and maximum of N50,000. The amount approved will depend on your salary and your existing obligation.
Microfinance lending is the provision of financial services for people who don’t have access to traditional financial services such as banks. The loans are aimed at individuals who were previously considered “unbankable” by larger banking institutions. These are borrowers who are possibly dealing in small amounts of money each day, living in hard-to-access areas, without credit histories or who don’t meet “traditional requirements” within the banking sector.
Microfinance loans specifically are not appropriate in situations where they propagate a cycle of debt or dependence. If you are taking out the loan to pay off another loan, this is considered very bad practice.
