The N30 charged to bind your ATM card to your account is refundable, but can take anywhere from 7 to 12 business days for the money to be refunded back to your bank account.

Your BVN is linked to your credit score, so if you have an outstanding loan with other lenders or didn’t pay other lenders as at when due, expect your application to be rejected.

Your credit score is a record of your previous borrowings, how early or late you make your payments, cash transactions going in and out of your bank account among other information.

Is Cashbean loan app legit or scam?

CashBean loan app has been verified to give short term loans of upto N300k to customers, but at very high interest rates. Caution should be exercised before taking any online loan. Always read other customer’s reviews before you apply for a loan in Nigeria.

You should know that these loan apps are not registered or regulated by the CBN or any government agency in Nigeria. You are responsible for the security of your transactions with them and there is no way to seek redress for poor customer service.

Also its availability on Google play store does not make transactions performed on it secure. The play store merely provides an avenue for download, you are responsible for your own security while using loan apps in Nigeria.

When taking loan, be mindful of the repayment plan. If you take a 60 days loan with two repayment installments, the app might attempt to auto debit you on the due date of the first installment and even charge overdue charges before the end of your 60 days tenure.

You can change your ATM card password to prevent auto debit. This app has been reported to deliberately auto debit their customers even after they have made payments via bank transfer.

Because there is no regulations in Nigeria, most of these apps are loan sharks who might threaten to send messages to your family members calling you a scammer if you default on your repayment. It is best to avoid these apps if you have other options.

If you’re being threatened or bullied by any loan shark in Nigeria, see this Facebook group where you can find support and read about the experience of others who have suffered bullying from loan apps.

You can take steps to check and remove your BVN from the credit bureau blacklist after repaying your loans and your loan app did not automatically clear you.

What other borrowers are saying about CashBean loan app

Adekunle Adejoke wrote, “I started using in January 2023 and I have never default, I usually pay few days to deadline but since February, I was told I was over the credit limit. I sent a mail, customer rep told me to try another app… So bad”

Joseph Nwachukwu wrote, “Good but I think the interest is on the high side could be reduced pls.”

David Ajayi wrote, “It’s very terrible I wasn’t even showed the breakdown of the interest and charges.I had a credit limit of 3750 in the process of applying I just saw that the loan was already processing and I was to pay 5114.11. I have been trying to repay but nothing is working on the app. I can’t even recommend this product to my enemies.”

Interest rate?

Annual Interest rate: 12%-24% APR

Example:
If the loan amount is NGN5,000, the loan term is 180days, and the interest rate is 12%, the total interest should be NGN5,000*12%= NGN600. The total repayment amount would be NGN5,000+ NGN5,000*12%= NGN5,600.

Note that this interest rate and loan duration is just an example, expect your actual loan and duration to be much lower, but you can improve it by paying back your loan on time and keeping a good credit record.
