Step-by-Step Guide
Understand How Limits Work
Loan apps use AI to assess risk. Your limit is based on: repayment history, phone data, transaction patterns, and time on platform. Each factor can be improved.
Always Repay On Time
This is the #1 factor. Late payments hurt your limit. Early repayments often help. Set reminders 2-3 days before due date.
- Never miss a due date
- Repay 1-2 days early when possible
- Avoid last-minute payments that might fail
- If you'll be late, contact support BEFORE the due date
Take Loans Regularly
Apps reward active users. Borrow every 1-2 months even if you don't need it. Take small amounts, repay quickly, repeat.
- Borrow at least once per month
- Complete 3-5 successful loans before expecting big increases
- Longer relationship = higher limits
Improve Your Financial Profile
Use the app's other services (savings, payments, transfers). Higher transaction volume = higher perceived income = higher limits.
Keep Your Phone Data Clean
Apps analyze: SMS patterns, call logs, app usage. Avoid financial distress signals like multiple loan apps, gambling apps, or desperate money requests.
Link Better Bank Accounts
Connect bank accounts with regular salary deposits. Apps can see your income pattern and adjust limits accordingly.
