What is credit limit

Your linkcredit limit is the maximum loan you're allowed to have at a given time. The size of your credit limit affects the loan size you have with your linkcredit, i.e. the larger your credit limit, the more you can borrow from linkcredit. Once you reach your credit limit, you can't make any additional loan until you pay off some of your outstanding balance.

You're not necessarily stuck with the credit limit you start out with. After several months of using your linkcredit responsibly, we may automatically raise your credit limit.

Funds are typically received within a few minutes of receiving disbursement confirmation. We recommend checking that the bank account provided is a personal account.  We also advice checking your account balance directly as credit alerts are not always received with transfers.

Why was my loan application rejected?

There are a few reasons behind loan application rejections. The most likely reason is that our system did not receive sufficient data to score your application. Please ensure you are signed into linkcredit using your main mobile device, and also keep your data on while using the app in order for us to determine the best possible loan offer for you.


Another possible reason is that you may not have shared all of the information required in the application or provided invalid details.


However, there can be other reasons. As a responsible lender, we take steps to ensure we only extend credit to applicants who can afford it, so that our clients won't become too indebted. It is possible that at this time, you don't match the profile of individual we normally lend money to.


Negative repayment patterns on previous obligations (including linkcredit loans) can also limit access to credit, or make it more expensive to obtain.


Whatever the situation, we recommend keeping the app installed and retrying after 1 month, as the criteria of these decisions are constantly refined.


I have submitted my application but I have not yet received any notification on my loan status.

Notifications are typically sent via SMS and/or in-app chat immediately after your loan application is sent. If you have not received either of these, please check the 'Loan History' menu in the app to confirm the current status of your request.
