Since I opened and Registered, I've not been able to get a loan. It almost seems like they want your details for God knows what. I wouldn't be recommending the app to anyone. They would also reply your negative comment about their app claiming they have sorted whatever issues, that's a lie. Their in app customer support would also stop replying you. They are just after your details!

I had a smooth experience using the Umba Loan App. The application process was straightforward, and the interface is easy to navigate. I was able to access a ₦10,000 loan without unnecessary stress. The disbursement was quick, and the repayment terms were clearly explained. Overall, it's a reliable option for anyone who needs a small loan in an emergency. I recommend giving it a try.

I have enjoyed this app before but currently experiencing a nightmare, I couldn't pay into my designated in-app wallet so I reached out to support, I was provided an alternative Umba account which I made payment into but its not reflected and I keep getting reminders that my loan will soon be due. I sent mail twice to support, call the customer line but all to no avail. I have kept the receipt of the transfer I did, I am not paying any extra dime and I don't care if the loan overdues
