How to choose a microfinance organization
When choosing a microfinance organization, you need to pay attention to several important points:
- Reliability and reputation of MFOs. The company must be included in the Central Bank register. You can evaluate the activities of microfinance organizations based on customer reviews and company ratings on aggregator sites
- No commission. Organizations with a reliable reputation in the financial services market do not impose additional fees for transferring funds to a client. Even if there is one, it is automatically deducted from the microloan amount upon transfer
- Conditions for issuing a loan: term, amount and rate. The main rule to remember: the faster you can pay off the debt, the less money you will have to pay from your own wallet
- Requirements for the borrower. The borrower must meet the requirements of the microfinance organization, otherwise the application may be rejected
- Availability of additional services. When applying for a loan, you need to clarify whether the company offers additional options along with the loan: insurance, credit history check, telemedicine, legal advice, etc.
- Loyalty program. An important factor is the availability of promotions, discounts and other bonuses for new and existing clients

The client has a convenient way to receive borrowed money: urgently on a card or in cash. You can fill out an application at an MFO branch or online. A client with a bad credit history can take out a microloan; in most cases, the money is transferred to the card without refusal. To apply, all you need is a passport and a valid phone number.
Loan repayment methods

- In cash at the office of a microfinance company. The microfinance organization does not charge a fee for making a payment, the money is credited instantly
