Frequently asked questions

What rate does Orange Bank Africa charge on its Tik Tak loan?+

The stated APR is 1.15% on a fixed-rate basis, so the figure holds for the life of the loan. A file fee of 1% applies on the Pret Tik Tak product, and a separate digital services access fee is charged each year. Borrowing runs from XOF 5,000 to XOF 50,000.

How quickly is the money paid out?+

Funding is Instantly, credited to the Orange Money account, and same-day funding appears in the product features. The loan lands in your Orange Money account rather than a bank account, so you need the mobile money account open and active before you apply.

Who can apply?+

Eligibility asks for adults of a minimum age who hold an active Orange Money account. You also need a waiting period as an Orange Money client, so the product is aimed at existing users of the wallet rather than first-time applicants.

Can I repay the loan early without a charge?+

Yes. Free early repayment applies, so settling the balance before the end of the term adds nothing to the cost. The rate itself is fixed, which means the amount owed does not drift upwards while you are paying it back.

Is the lender regulated?+

Orange Bank Africa SA is a direct lender, and it is licensed by the Commission Bancaire de l'UMOA (COBAC) in Côte d'Ivoire. Licences appear only for this country, so the offering is aimed at borrowers there.

How much can I borrow and for how long?+

The lending range is XOF 5,000 to XOF 50,000, and the term is 1, which suits a short bridging loan rather than a large purchase. Both personal and payday loans sit in the range, so a smaller need can be matched to the same product family.

How do I get help with the loan?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which covers email, phone and a help centre. A phone line is the quickest route for questions about a repayment date or the annual digital services access fee before you borrow.
