How borrowers repay

M-Pesa, Mixx by Yas (formerly Tigo Pesa), Airtel Money and HaloPesa, and bank transfer. Each payment is recorded against the right instalment, with a receipt, whichever way it came in.

Who licenses lenders

Money lenders are Tier 2 microfinance service providers licensed by the Bank of Tanzania under the Microfinance Act, 2018. Lending without a licence is an offence. Spindle Loans keeps the loan register, signed agreements, key facts and a complaints log, ready to show when you are asked.

A typical loan

Salary loan, repaid monthly: TSh500,000.00 over 3 months at 10% a month, flat, is 3 instalments of TSh216,666.66, TSh150,000.00 interest in total. This rate is only an example: you set your own rates, fees and penalties on each loan product.

Reminders and receipts can go out by text through a provider in your country, which we connect for you. You pay for Spindle Loans in US dollars by bank transfer; your system opens the day the money arrives.
