In their continued efforts to close the gap of financial exclusion, Orange Money Botswana has partnered with Access Bank Botswana to launch the N’stakolle Loan, a micro loan service available exclusively to Orange Money users.
N’stakolle is a ground-breaking offering in Botswana, allowing eligible Orange Money customers to instantly get an unsecured short-term loan between P50 and P1200. This offering was developed to better serve customers’ needs and provide a convenient, reliable, affordable and safe micro-loan service accessible through the mobile phone.
With N’stakolle, customers can now apply for instant loans with affordable service fees ranging from 7.5% to 12.5%%. The loan tenure ranges between 3 days and 30 days, and the loan interest charged will be based on the loan tenure. To be eligible for the N’stakolle loan, customers should fulfill the below listed requirements;
· Have an active Orange Money account
· Be active on Orange Money services for the last 6 months
· Be aged 18 years and above
Fulfilling the requirements however, does not guarantee that a customer will be granted the loan. Eligibility and the loan amount will also depend on the monthly transactions done by customers, which include Cash-In transactions, Money transfers and Bill Payments, amongst others. Further correspondence should be made with Orange Money for detailed information.
