Safety and regulation

Alma Credit is a direct lender rather than a broker, so you deal with the company that carries the debt from start to finish. It holds a licence from the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic, listed as 011, 011/1. The credit check is recorded as none, so an application does not put a hard search on your file. Nothing here describes a deposit protection scheme, so treat the licence as evidence that the lender is regulated rather than that your money is covered.

Who runs it

The legal entity is a closed joint stock microfinance company named Alma Credit, based in Kyrgyzstan. It lends its own money and lists personal, secured, car, student, business and guarantor loans, with home improvement as the stated use. Support runs on phone and chat, so phone and chat are the routes for questions about an application or repayment. Licence details are listed under 011, 011/1.

Frequently asked questions

What rate do I pay on an Alma Credit loan?+

The stated APR is 23.58%, and it is fixed, so the rate does not move during the loan. That sits well above the site median of 12% and above the personal loan median of 12.25%. Borrow from a single lender rather than comparing only on the headline figure.

How much can I borrow and over what term?+

Borrowing runs from KGS 20,000 to KGS 700,000 with terms from 3 to 60. That means a short or a long repayment is possible, though longer terms mean more interest at the same rate. The site median term is 36 for comparison.

Is there a credit check?+

The credit check is recorded as none, so no formal credit check applies. This suits applicants with a thin or unused credit file. Only 6.9% of lenders on the site sit in that group, and 72.7% do run a hard check.

Is Alma Credit regulated?+

Yes. It is licensed by the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic, with the licence listed as 011, 011/1. It is a direct lender, not a broker, so the contract is with the company named in the outline, and its base is in Kyrgyzstan.

Who can apply?+

Applicants must be adults with a minimum age, and the company lends to residents of Bishkek and Kara-Balta only. That local limit is worth checking first, since it rules out applicants elsewhere in Kyrgyzstan. The application runs on none, so no credit file is needed.

What types of loan are offered?+

The listed range is personal, secured, car, student, business and guarantor loans, with home improvement as the named use. The rate is fixed, so the same fixed pricing applies across the range. Borrowing of KGS 20,000 to KGS 700,000 applies to the individual loan shown.

How do I contact the company?+

Support runs on phone and chat, meaning phone and chat, with no email or help centre listed. Phone and chat are common routes here, as 85% and 33.1% suggest for the wider market. Plan your questions before calling, as support is limited to those two channels.

Is my money protected if something goes wrong?+

Nothing in the stated facts describes a deposit or savings protection scheme, so there is no stated cover for balances held with the company. The licence 011, 011/1 shows the lender is regulated in Kyrgyzstan, which is a separate point from protection of funds.
