I will try as much as possible to answer most questions pertaining to Access Bank Online Registration, Buying Data & Airtime, Making transactions, checking balance and even, how to contact Access bank customer care representative right on the internet without visiting any branch.

It’s obvious that both mobile and online banking is gradually gaining recognition among many Nigerians especially, digital champs. Almost everyone wants to do their business online and thereby, needs to send and receive money online which is quite good because it saves time and increases productivity.

Online banking has also pave way for reducing crowded customers in banking halls.

So, any bank in Nigeria or any place in the world who need more and consistent customers, they need to embrace the option for online banking. Access Bank understand this strategy and that’s why they came up with a great online banking system.

Access bank online banking is one of the simplest internet banking platform in Nigeria.

It’s also important and unfortunate to note that not all account holders can access this wonderful online banking platform. Access Bank has a variety of accounts types but not all can make use of the online banking platform.

Some people are asking that…

You may also have the same question in mind especially you’re the type that “watches before leaping”.

Chipper Cash vs PayDay — Which one should you choose?

Chipper Cash vs PayDay – Who do you think will win?

I know that you have heard about these two platforms before now and might have used one or two of them. In this head-to-head review, we will compare the two famous dollar and virtual card providers, Chipper Cash and PayDay, to help you determine which one is better suited for your needs. 

We will examine various aspects such as usability, fees, features, and customer support to provide you with a comprehensive analysis.

Kindly note that this is just a blog post from my personal experience and what I see on social media, not sponsored content by any of the companies I’m reviewing here.

If we’re clear on that, let’s start.

#1. Usability

Of all features that make an app stand out, Usability is very important and this means how easy it is for users to navigate the app.

Chipper Cash has a very basic design and experience, while PayDay has the nicest design and it’s very easy to navigate.

A use case for why this is important:

Chipper Cash would never show you the exchange rate unless you want to “Send” or “Request” funds, which you’re not likely to see. But on PayDay, you know how much a dollar costs before a purchase.

And another use case on this usability part is the overview screen which is (normally) meant to show your recent activities or overview of what you can do. 

Winner: PayDay.

#2. Fees

Every human is a business person by nature, so in most cases, we tend to look for the cheapest option and such happens when it comes to choosing a Dollar or virtual card provider.

A lot of people complain that Chippers Cash has the most expensive exchange rate and this seems to be true.

For instance, as of yesterday, I bought a dollar on PayDay at ₦742 while it cost ₦781.

But before we agree that Chipper Cash is not the “cheaper”, let’s break down the rates.

To create a VISA or Mastercard virtual card on PayDay, you’ll pay $5 as a creation fee while you’ll pay ₦2,000 on Chipper Cash.

And before you can buy anything with dollars on PayDay, you have to swap the naira in your wallet for a dollar, then top up your card… They charge 0.5% of how much you’re swapping (maximum of $5).

PayDay Swapping Fee

While you don’t pay any swapping fee on Chipper Cash.

Let’s assume I need a virtual card of $10, here is the breakdown:

For PayDay:

  • Creation fee – $5
  • Top up – $10
  • Swapping fee – $0.075 (0.5% of $15)
  • Total ⇒ $15.075

This converted to Naira in PayDay’s rate would be: ₦742 x 15.075 => ₦11,185.65

For Chipper Cash:

  • Creation fee: ₦2,000
  • Top up: $10
  • Total: $10 + ₦2k

Let’s convert this to Naira in Chipper Cash’s rate: (₦781 x 10) + ₦2,000 ⇒ ₦9,810

It’s clear that Chippers Cash is “cheaper” but for the first time, you are creating the card.

If you already have a card but want to top up, PayDay is cheaper but the difference is not up to ₦40 (781 – 742).

In this case, there’s no winner.

Winner: Draw

#3. Customer support

Because we are human and we are not perfect, what we manufacture, create, or produce as well will not be perfect. 

That’s why there is customer support for businesses in case things go south and this is very important if you’re thinking of choosing a Dollar or virtual card provider.

PayDay has the worst customer service, although they’re active on Twitter busy creating awareness for the product, but put zero to meager effort into their customer support service.

I once had an issue on February 16, I sent them a message but they replied on March 2nd… that’s 2 weeks!

PayDay Customer Support

The recent issue I have with them which I’ll explain later took them 18 hours to send an “automated” response and since then, I’ve not heard anything from them and the issue hasn’t been solved. They immediately close the conversation without resolving it.

The evidence of their poor service is on Twitter, just visit their page to enjoy the comments.

Chipper Cash, they have a faster response rate when it comes to Customer service… I had an issue creating a dollar card and I reached out on Twitter, immediately I received a response and the issue was solved before I see the response.

And I’ve not yet seen any trend where people complain about Chipper Cash’s support.

Winner: Chipper Cash.

#4. Success Rate

Still, on the imperfection, anything can happen at any time but you definitely don’t want to put your money on a platform that’s more likely to fail.

To be frank, Chipper Cash has the highest success rate while you may need to go to the nearby mountain to pray and fast before using PayDay.

This is the top reason why a lot of people are trying to contact PayDay’s support and I think the messages are too much for their support to handle.

I personally have an ongoing issue with them. I want to renew my domain names and I decided to use PayDay, I deposited some Naira, swapped to USD, and decided to get a virtual Dollar card with $34.74.

I expect PayDay to deduct the Money, give me a dollar card with $29.74 as a balance, and remember their $5 card fee.

I tried to buy the card, no response if it failed or it’s successful, I guess it’s a service… I keep on trying until I’m tired.

So I checked my balance $15 has been deducted ($5 in 3 times).

PayDay Deducts Money

I had no idea why because up till now, no card has been issued to me… I had $19.74 left which I quickly sent to my Chipper Cash before PayDay got angrier.

I top up my Chipper cash with some Naira, purchase my dollar card and I got it immediately

Up till now, PayDay hasn’t issued the card to me or refunded me. People are complaining a lot about this same issue.

The only (trending) complaint about Chipper Cash is the fee which I’ve explained already.

Update on 16th of May, 2023

The founder of PayDay tweeted to celebrate their milestone of having over 600k customers and I replied with my complain.

 

PayDay CEO tweet to celebrate milestone

As seen in the screenshot above, he asked for my PayDay tag and immediately, the magic happened. I got my $15 refunded!

PayDay refunds customer

I hope they PayDay improves on their infrastructure instead of having multiple card creation failure and refund.

But for now, Chipper Cash wins here.

Winner: Chipper Cash

#5. Downloads & Reviews

So far, I’ve been referencing my experience with both platforms and it’s high time we see how people are reacting to both apps.

I’ve mentioned that PayDay doesn’t have good reviews on Twitter compared to Chipper Cash but let’s check the Play Store to see what the users are saying with figures.

PayDay has:

  • 100k+ Downloads
  • 3k+ reviews
  • 2.1 out of 5 average ratings.
  • Most rated 1 stars 

PayDay Play Store Review

Chipper Cash has:

  • 5M+ Downloads
  • 109k reviews
  • 4.1 out of 5 average ratings
  • Most rated 5 stars.

Chipper Cash App Review

This is evident that average people would prefer to use Chipper Cash instead of PayDay.

Now, I’m not talking about the number of downloads or reviews, but the average ratings… That shows how satisfied customers are.

Winner: Chipper Cash

#6. Downtime

Most of the time, we want to get something done as quickly as now. This is why I include this point to let you know how far.

Currently, Chipper Cash is down and I’ve updated the app maybe it’ll be resolved but still down… imagine if I need to pay for something now and Chipper Cash is my only option, my faith on candle sticks.

Chipper Cash downtime screenshot

People complain about this, but to be honest it’s not like that every day as it’s mostly working… I would say the uptime is around 95%.

I have never seen a PayDay app crash or have downtime and people don’t complain about that as well.

Winner: PayDay

Conclusion: Chipper Cash vs PayDay –Which one is the best?

In the battle between Chipper Cash and PayDay, both platforms offer impressive features and services. PayDay stands out for its user-friendly interface, app’s uptime, and lower exchange rate, while Chipper Cash excels in Customer support, success rate, and user feedback. 

Ultimately, the choice between the two dollars or virtual card providers depends on your specific needs and preferences. 

I recommend you assess the fee structures, available features, and usability of both platforms to make an informed decision that aligns with what you need the platform for.

As mentioned earlier, this is not a sponsored post but an honest review from my personal experience and the trend on social media platforms.

If you think something is missing or would like to drop any feedback regarding your experience on any of these apps, kindly use the comment box as it’ll be helpful to everyone reading this blog post.

Don’t forget to share if you think this review is good enough, for people to be informed.

Kuda Overdrafts: Eligibility and How to Qualify to Borrow Money from Kuda Bank

Published

2 years ago

on

November 17, 2021

By

You’ve heard the popular anthem on YouTube, Streaming apps, or where that says: “No shame in borrowing when you can easily take Kuda Overdrafts” and you wonder what’s this all about? How can I qualify to borrow money?

I will quickly talk about that in this blog post. And I assume you don’t have an account with Kuda bank yet, but if you already have one, you can navigate to the right part for you by using the table of content below.

What are Kuda Overdrafts?

Kuda Overdrafts are money borrowed for a short period of time to take care of urgent issues. You can say Kuda Overdraft is a “short-term” loan, that’s how Kuda Bank describes it.

It’s not like a loan that you have to request before it’s disbursed, but the process is automatic, hence, it is called “Overdrafts” and not technically “loan”. 

How Kuda Overdrafts Work

Assuming you have N50,000 on your Kuda bank, and you need to pay school fees of N100,000, you can withdraw that N100,000 to pay your school fees and your account will be -50,000 (If you are qualified already for overdrafts).

Just understand it as the way you borrow airtime or data from MTN when you need it urgently. You don’t need to visit the MTN office or fill any form before you borrow. Once you’re a regular user of MTN, you can borrow anything on the SIM and pay on your next recharge.

How Kuda Overdrafts Work – Image Credit: Kuda bank

That’s how Kuda Overdrafts work – Just like using a credit card in foreign countries).

Learn More: What is Kuda Overdraft?

Because some Nigerians are victims of embarrassment resulting from taking loans online, you may think that Kuda Overdraft is in that caliber of embarrassing their customers. But Kuda Bank is not!

CHECK: Top Apps to Manage Your Finance in Nigeria

I’ve been using Kuda Bank for a few years and I enjoy their banking service. When I qualify for overdrafts, I took it (without shame) to see if they’ll frustrate my life but till now, I’ve never been embarrassed or stalked because I borrow money from Kuda bank.

Kuda Overdrafts Vs Other Loan Apps

  • Low interest: Kuda Bank takes a very small interest. I mean very low as 0.3% daily interest. That is just N30 daily if you borrow N10,000 – If you pay up within 10 days, you’ll pay just N300, or let’s say you pay after a month, you’ll pay just N900. Crazy. Right?
  • No Paperwork: You’re not filling any form either online or offline before you can qualify for Kuda Overdrafts.
  • No Collateral: This may sound like an invalid reason why borrowing money from Kuda Bank is the best, but it is a valid reason. Those who said they don’t take collateral are right, but they’ll use the contacts on your phone as their collateral. You gerrit?
  • No Embarrassment: As I said above, these loan apps will copy all the numbers on your contact list for special embarrassment later. Kuda bank doesn’t do this at all, you pay when you’re financially buoyant.
  • I will also say borrowing money from Kuda bank will give you peace of mind, they will never call or email you to repay. 

To borrow money from Kuda bank is not a “squid game” unlike fake loan apps that run after people’s life. If you want to know more about these loan sharks and how to avoid them, read this blog post.

How to Qualify for Kuda Overdrafts

There are steps you must take before you can be able to borrow money from Kuda Bank. They are:

  1. Become a User of Kuda Bank (Register and Verify your account)
  2. Use Kuda Bank regularly (to transfer, receive, pay bills, buy airtime)
  3. You’ll qualify automatically (Again, you don’t need to fill any form)

#1 Become a User of Kuda Bank

All you have to do is to download the Kuda Bank app on either Playstore or Appstore (for iOS), register, verify your BVN, phone number, and email address.

You may also need to upload your NIN slip, and you’re good to go. This is the first step to qualify for KUDA overdrafts.

#2 Use Kuda Bank Regularly

After becoming a user, the next step is to become a frequent user and this is what will qualify for Kuda’s “short-term” loan (overdrafts).

But you may want to ask how often or regularly should you use Kuda Bank?

Well. I don’t have a straight answer, but In my case, I use Kuda for 80% banking that I want to do. I use it to receive money, send money, bill data, and airtime. I don’t just keep N1,000 there, I keep most of my Naira in my Kuda bank account.

#3. You’ll Qualify Automatically

The system has been programmed to upgrade regular users to have access to Kuda overdrafts. So, you don’t need to request approval or whatsoever. Just use Kuda Bank regularly and you’ll get your own “lunch” from Kuda.

PS: The first time I received a notification that I’m qualified for Kuda Overdrafts, I can only borrow N30,000 but later, I think after 2 months, I can get up to N75,000.

I believe the more you keep using the Kuda for banking, the more they’ll increase how much you can borrow on the app.

How To Borrow Money on Kuda App?

On the home screen of your app, simply swipe to, or click on “Borrow”, adjust the range element to how much you need and click on “Get your Overdrafts”. That’s all.

What the video below to see how to do that:

Borrow Money Without Shame, Take Kuda Overdrafts

This is the first time I will see something like this aside from borrowing from telcos. Kuda Bank is really stepping up its game and it has been a great experience for us (customers).

I enjoy taking Kuda overdrafts without shame, no harassment, no room for getting stranded on cash. Just become a regular user, and you’ll enjoy the same experience.

But some people do ask; what if they fail or refuse to pay back the money they borrow from Kuda Bank? Well, I don’t know what will happen, but I’m sure Kuda Bank has a way to sort it out amicably or legally.

You can’t outsmart Kuda Bank if you’re thinking of taking the overdrafts “japa”. You can’t japa because security agencies will nab you. This is not a threat, remember I said Kuda Bank will never embarrass you like some loan sharks used to do. 

But don’t be like those who plan to run away with Kuda Overdrafts without payment back, it’s not fair, you know.
