Pros and cons

Pros

  • Same-day funding is the headline feature, and money can arrive within minutes for the smallest band of KGS 15,000 to KGS 200,000
  • Direct lender, so direct lender means one agreement with O!Bank OJSC rather than a broker chain
  • Personal, payday, buy now pay later, car and secured loans sit under one roof
  • Support runs on email, phone and community, so phone and email help are available

Cons

  • APR of 30.67% is well above the 12% site median and the 12.25% personal loan median
  • Terms run 3 to 24, short against the 48 median term, so borrowing costs sit high
