Which salary banks do you support?+

The current lending model has a particular focus on customers receiving salary through NMB or CRDB. Contact the team to confirm whether your account and repayment route can be supported.

What documents will I need?+

You may be asked for NIDA details, employment information, salary account details, recent bank statements, an active phone number, and reference contacts. Requirements can vary by facility.

How long does approval take?+

Timing depends on whether the application is complete and how quickly the required information can be verified. The team will explain any outstanding requirement rather than promise a fixed approval time.

How are repayments collected?+

Repayment is agreed before disbursement and is normally aligned to the salary cycle. A direct debit mandate or another approved collection route may be used where available.

Can I settle my loan early?+

Speak to the team if you want to settle early. They will confirm the remaining obligation and the steps needed to close the facility.

Is TUDUMU licensed?+
