Optima Bank
Review of: Loans
Approved within an hour
Applied via FinMarketKG in the evening, Optima called in the morning and the money was on my card by lunch. KGS 300,000 at 21% for 3 years — better than the branch offered.
Kompanion Bank
Review of: Loans
Fast and unsecured
KGS 150,000 renovation loan with no collateral or guarantors. Decision in a day, 24% rate — excellent for the region.
FINCA Bank
Review of: Loans
Unsecured greenhouse loan
FINCA gave KGS 250,000 for 2 years at 22% with no collateral, just a guarantor. Money came 2 days after they inspected the plot. First 2 months are a grace period.
Dos-Credobank
Review of: Loans
Hidden insurance in the loan
The 19% rate looked great, but the contract included life insurance at 2.5% of the amount. You can opt out, but then the rate is 23%. Warn people in advance.
