Our verdict

MTN MoFlex lends to Rwandan mobile subscribers through their Mobile Money wallet rather than to anyone with a bank file. The cost is a single facility fee of 7% to 9% on fixed-rate balances of RWF 1,000 to RWF 1,300,000, repaid over 7 to 30 with free early repayment.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Priced on a fixed-rate model, with the whole cost sitting in a single facility fee of 7% to 9%.
  • Repaying before the agreed term is free, so settling early costs nothing extra.
  • Disbursement goes directly to the Mobile Money wallet, Disbursed directly to the Mobile Money wallet.
  • Support runs on email, chat and phone, covering phone and chat as well as email and a help centre.

Cons

  • The facility fee of 7% to 9% is charged at the outset, and a flat charge on a small balance weighs heavily against the sum borrowed.
  • The eligibility test is the mobile account rather than a credit file: a minimum age, a waiting period in network and active use of MTN voice, data and Mobile Money services.
  • Balances of RWF 1,000 to RWF 1,300,000 over terms of 7 to 30 cover a short gap, not a large purchase or a consolidation.

Frequently asked questions

What does MoFlex cost to borrow?+

MoFlex is priced on a fixed-rate model with a single facility fee of 7% to 9%, and that charge rises the longer the loan runs. Settling before the agreed term is free, so a good month costs nothing extra.

How much can I borrow, and for how long?+

Balances of RWF 1,000 to RWF 1,300,000 over terms of 7 to 30 suit a short gap rather than a big purchase. Funds are disbursed straight to the Mobile Money wallet, so there is no bank transfer sitting in the middle. Longer and larger borrowers should look elsewhere.

Is MoFlex regulated?+

The provider operates under Financial Service Provider licensing in Rwanda, licence 44774. The company behind the product is Mobile Money Rwanda Ltd, and it sits within MTN Rwanda, a business founded in 1998.

How does MoFlex differ from a bank loan?+

MoFlex runs as a broker rather than a direct lender, covering personal loans and cash advances. The decision rests on the mobile account, with registered MTN status, national ID on the SIM and active Mobile Money use carrying more weight than a paper application. Support runs on email, chat and phone.

What help is available after I take a loan?+

Help runs on email, chat and phone, which covers phone, chat, email and a help centre, so a question about a repayment date does not need a branch visit. The lender here is Mobile Money Rwanda Ltd, and the Mobile Money wallet that received the funds handles the repayment.

How does MoFlex compare with the other options listed here?+

The alternatives sit in other markets with different ranges. Monzo Flex lends £10,000 to £35,000, Cashspace lends PHP 500 to PHP 25,000 and Cashspace ES lends €100 to €5,000, so a borrower needing a bigger sum or another currency is looking outside this product.
