Terms: 62 days
The maximum annual interest rate of 10%

At first I thought this app was great until their monsters started coming out . Their support team never replies to messages ,they keep asking you to link your accounts which is never linked no matter how many you provide even when you use the so called pngme .it is always same.old story and when you let them.be ,they keep sending messages to try .I have never seen a more frustrating app in recent times .Their web developers keep saying thank you for your feedback but never any improvement

Very awful, it is really taking longer time to approve the loan I applied for a pressing needs as at yesterday. I'm left with no choice than to delete the useless app, as no loan offer, no approval or disbursement of funds for the past 24 hours, 🙆 what a waste of time and data!!!😡

The best loan app in Nigeria! Their interest rate is far far less than other greedy ones. And their staffs are well cultured when it comes to debt reminder/recovery, unlike the other useless ones that will insult hell out of you in every slightest mistake. I also like their flexibility in loan operations. Umba is the best. I recommend this app for anyone looking for a quick loan in Nigeria.
