    I am not eligible to repay the full installment amount that I suggested earlier so I need to reduce the installment amount to the amount that I will be able to make

    I am having a problem with my repayment frequency since I am not capable of repaying my loan weekly due to some unavoidable circumstances, so my view was if it could be possible for me to adjust the repayment frequency to be monthly but the expected day of completion will remain the same

      Dear David,

      Thank you for the message and informing us of your situation. I'm afraid we don't offer a monthly installment option. If you have any difficulties making repayments, we request that you temporarily reduce your installment to an amount you can afford to pay right now, and go ahead and make that small payment. You may then increase your installment again when you are able.

      To reduce your installment amount, please log into your Zidisha account and click on "Adjust Installment Amount," and follow the instructions there. If you have any problems, please let us know at [email protected].

      Kind regards,
      David, Zidisha Team

    The loan I have just completed has made a big difference in my life since I am capable of feeding my chickens and manage the project. It has also helped me to make enough income that can sustain me and my family and further more pay school fee for my younger brother.
