Frequently asked questions

What rate will I pay on a personal loan from MFK Elet-Kapital?+

The published APR is 44.13%, and the rate is fixed for the life of the loan. For a secured loan the initial rate is 28% with an APRC of 33.29%. That is a high number to repay, so borrow only what you can clear.

How much can I borrow and for how long?+

Loan amounts run KGS 1,000 to KGS 15,000 in Kyrgyz som, and the standard term is 6. The lender covers personal, payday, secured and business lending, so the same ceiling may not apply to every product. Ask for the exact figure before you sign.

Is this lender regulated?+

Yes. MFK Elet-Kapital holds a National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic licence, numbered No.013, No.013/1 dated 30.03.2018. The operating company is Microfinance Company Elet-Capital CJSC, based in Kyrgyzstan. It is a direct lender, so you deal with the licensed firm itself.

Will I pass the credit check?+

The check is hard, so a decision is made on your full file rather than a quick filter. Applications suit a poor credit file, which is the point for many borrowers here. Applying can leave a mark that other lenders see.

Are there fees on top of the interest?+

A commission of 2% is charged for replenishing payment cards and electronic wallets, so the amount you receive is less than the amount approved. Interest runs at a fixed rate, which keeps the cost predictable.

How quickly is the money sent?+

Funding is instant and online, and same-day funding is a listed feature. In practice the money goes to your electronic wallet or card, so you need one of those open before you apply. Approval and transfer are separate steps.

How do I get help while I have the loan?+

Support runs through email, phone and help centre, giving you phone, chat, email and a help centre. That matters most at renewal, so keep the phone number to hand before your first instalment date arrives.
