Who it suits

  • Public servants on the government payroll who want the loan paid out the same day
  • Staff of an employer holding an agreement with Bayport
  • Borrowers who expect extra income during the term, since early repayment is free

Who should look elsewhere

  • Borrowers chasing more than up to GHS 15,000, where Monzo Flex lends £10,000 to £35,000
  • Anyone after a peso or euro loan: Cashspace lends PHP 500 to PHP 25,000 and Cashspace ES lends €100 to €5,000

How your money is protected

Bayport is a direct lender, direct lender, so the firm that approves the loan, releases the funds and collects the repayments is the same firm, with no broker taking a cut in between. The licence recorded for the brand names the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, which is the regulator to approach if something goes wrong.

The company behind it

The contracting entity is Bayport Savings and Loans PLC, based in Ghana and trading since 2003, so the name on the agreement is a savings and loans company rather than an intermediary. Borrower questions go through phone, help centre and email, which covers phone, email and a help centre, before and after a loan is drawn.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow and over what term?+

Personal and consolidation loans run to up to GHS 15,000, with repayment terms of 1 to 60. That spread covers a short bridge for an unexpected bill as well as a longer consolidation, and a fixed rate means the instalment does not shift during the term.

Can I use a loan to consolidate other debts?+

Debt consolidation sits alongside personal loans in the personal and debt consolidation range, so several existing balances can be folded into one repayment rather than run separately. With up to GHS 15,000 as the ceiling, the route suits mid sized balances rather than the largest ones.

How quickly is the money paid out?+

Same day funding, same day funding, follows once processing is complete. Funds are instant at a branch after processing, and larger amounts are paid into a bank account within a short period, so timing hangs on finishing processing rather than on how fast the application was sent.

Can I repay early without a charge?+

Free early repayment is part of the deal, so clearing the balance ahead of schedule carries nothing extra. With terms of 1 to 60, a borrower expecting extra income during the term can shorten the loan and cut the total interest rather than paying to the end.

Who am I dealing with, and who regulates them?+

Bayport is a direct lender, direct lender, so borrower and funding company are the same firm, and the contract sits with Bayport Savings and Loans PLC, trading since 2003. The licence recorded for the brand names the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius as regulator.

How do I get help once I hold a loan?+

Support runs on phone, help centre and email, covering phone, email and a help centre. There is no live chat, so questions go through a call, an email or help centre content rather than an instant messenger thread, and the same channels cover queries before a loan is drawn.
