How to get a Smartphone loan from Easybuy
1. Find an Easybuy Agent
The first step here is locating an Easybuy agent. Easybuy has partnerships and affiliations with many phone companies in Nigeria.
As a result, Easybuy agents are stationed in many mobile phone stores. They all wear the official Easybuy uniform (blue branded T-shirts), so you can identify them easily.
2. Provide necessary details
An Easy Buy agent will brief you on the requirements, just to make sure that you are eligible for the loan.
Some questions and details will also be asked and the agent will note down your response.
3. Select the Mobile Phone you wish to buy
In any mobile phone store affiliated with Easybuy service, the agent works hand-in-hand with the staff. So once you select the mobile phone of your choice and agree to the price, you will be directed back to the Easybuy agent.
4. Sign up for your Easybuy loan
The next step is to sign up on the Easybuy platform. The agent will be in charge of these steps and your details (that were collected earlier) will be used for the loan application.
Your photograph will also be taken during the application process. You may also be asked to speak with another agent from the Easybuy head office (through a phone call).
5. Make an initial payment of 30%
Here, you will be asked to pay at least 30% of the phone price. For example, if the mobile phone costs ₦40,000, you must make an initial deposit of at least ₦12,000.
6. Set a convenient repayment term
When applying for an Easy Buy loan, you have the option to:
- Repay within 3 months
- Repay within 6 months
Each repayment term has a different interest rate. Be sure to confirm before making your decision.
7. Final verification
This is the last step involved in obtaining a mobile phone loan from Easy Buy in Nigeria.
You will be asked to provide the names and phone numbers of 4 people close to you. These individuals:
- Can be your family members, friends, relatives, employer or coworker
- Are to vouch that you are a responsible person
- Will be contacted if you digress on your repayment term (fail to pay on/after the due date)
Here is a tip: You should inform them before applying for the loan and tell them to put in a good word for you.
And after applying for the Easybuy loan, make sure to by all means pay on the due date. Failure to do so may lead to embarrassment, as the loan company will contact those 4 individuals to notify them of your inaction.
