Pros and cons
Pros
- The credit check on the main personal loan is none, so access does not hinge on a file search.
- A fixed rate over terms of 3 to 60 months, so the repayment does not move during the term.
- A direct lender, listed as direct lender, so the application goes to the company rather than a broker.
- Licensed by the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic under 011, 011/1.
Cons
- 23.58% runs above the site median of 15.5%, and the range quoted by Sofkredit, 10.74% to 18.06%, shows cheaper rates exist.
- Support runs on phone and chat only, with no email or branch service in the mix.
- Borrowing sits in a single market, since the lender is based in Kyrgyzstan and eligibility is limited to Bishkek and Kara-Balta.
Who it suits

Frequently asked questions
What rate will I pay on a personal loan?+
The rate is 23.58% on a fixed basis, above the site median of 15.5%. Cashspace quotes PHP 12 to PHP 36 and Sofkredit 10.74% to 18.06%, and the lower end of each sits below 23.58%, so cheaper borrowing does exist elsewhere.
How much can I borrow, and over what term?+
Loan sizes run KGS 20,000 to KGS 700,000, with terms of 3 to 60 months. The amounts are in Kyrgyz som and the listed products are instalment loans, so the repayment is set when the loan is taken rather than changing month to month.
Do I need a credit check?+
The main personal loan carries a none credit check, so a full file search is not part of the assessment. The trade-off sits in the price: 23.58% is the rate attached to that lighter check, above the site median of 15.5%. That is the number to weigh before applying.
Is the lender regulated?+
It is a microfinance company based in Kyrgyzstan, licensed by the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic under 011, 011/1. No savings protection scheme is named for the lender, and a loan is not a deposit, so borrowers should confirm repayment terms with the company rather than expect covered funds.
Who can apply?+
Applicants must be adults of a minimum age and residents of Bishkek or Kara-Balta, the cities named in the eligibility for this lender in Kyrgyzstan. Anyone living outside those cities falls outside what the lender states for this product, which narrows the pool considerably.
What kinds of loan are on offer?+
The lender lists personal, secured and car, with home improvement as the stated use. Personal borrowing therefore sits alongside secured, car, student, business and guarantor lending, all arranged directly with the company rather than through a broker.
How do I reach support?+
Support runs on phone and chat. That gives a phone line and live chat, which cover quick questions while an application is moving. Anyone who wants a written record by email or prefers a branch visit will not get it from the channels listed, so keep personal records.
Is the rate fixed or can it change?+
The rate type is fixed and the model is listed as fixed rate, so the cost of the loan does not move during the term. With terms of 3 to 60 months, a fixed rate makes budgeting straightforward, though the level of 23.58% is what you commit to at the start.
