Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can borrow from HerLends?

+
Anyone aged 18 and above who is a Ugandan resident with a valid National ID can apply. You must have a verifiable source of income — employment, business, or both. Non-members can access up to UGX 50,000 without joining a package. For larger amounts, you must join a membership tier.

What is the interest rate?

+
HerLends charges 5% per week on the principal loan amount for a standard 4-week loan, equalling 20% total interest. The longer the repayment period, the lower the weekly interest rate — 8 weeks = 2.5% per week, 16 weeks = 1.25% per week. All rates are confirmed and agreed before you sign any agreement. A small application fee covers mobile money transfer charges. There are no hidden charges.

What packages are available and how much can I borrow?

+
We have four membership tiers:
  • Bronze — UGX 30,000 to 190,000 (package fee: UGX 10,000/year)
  • Silver — UGX 200,000 to 500,000 (package fee: UGX 20,000/year)
  • Gold — UGX 500,000 to 2,500,000 (package fee: UGX 50,000/year) — requires 6 months active membership
  • Diamond — UGX 3,000,000 to 10,000,000 (package fee: UGX 100,000/year) — requires 6 months active membership
Package fees are paid once per year and give you 12 months of full access.

Is collateral required for all loans?

+
Yes — collateral is required for all loan packages, including Bronze and Silver. The type and value of collateral accepted is assessed relative to the loan amount. Examples include a car logbook, land title deed, laptop, or phone. Collateral is returned to you upon full repayment of the loan.

How quickly will I receive my money?

+
Once your application is approved, your documents are verified, and the loan agreement is signed, funds are sent directly to your mobile money or bank account. First-time applicants typically complete this within a few days after document verification. Returning members with a good repayment history often experience a faster turnaround of just minutes to receive their loan. Members of the Smart Savings Plan receive loans even quicker — often within minutes — thanks to their established savings history and trust record with HerLends.

What happens if I miss a payment?

+
Missing a payment triggers compounding interest on the outstanding balance. Our team will contact you via WhatsApp, calls, and SMS to remind you. Your referees may also be contacted. Consistent non-payment may result in recovery action on your collateral and legal proceedings. We always encourage early communication if you face difficulties — reach out to us on WhatsApp before your payment date.

What is the loan agreement process?

+
For loans above UGX 95,000, a written agreement must be signed by you and a HerLends representative in the presence of two witnesses — one from each side. For loans of UGX 95,000 and below, a WhatsApp agreement between you and our representative where you confirm your acceptance is taken as final and binding.

What is the Smart Savings Plan?

+
The Smart Savings Plan lets HerLends members save weekly and earn automatic interest. We offer two plans:
  • FlexSave Plan — earns 1% per month on your balance, credited automatically. Withdraw after a minimum of 1 month. A minimum savings balance of UGX 10,000 is required to earn interest.
  • GrowthLock Plan — earns 12% per annum for committed savings locked for a fixed period.
A minimum balance of UGX 10,000 applies. Active savers qualify for higher loan limits.

Will HerLends visit my home or business?

+
For loans above UGX 95,000, a HerLends representative may conduct a physical visit to your business or home to verify information provided in your application. This is a standard part of our verification process and is done professionally during reasonable hours. By accepting a loan, you consent to this as outlined in our Terms & Conditions.

Can I get a top-up or a second loan while still repaying?

+
Yes — active members with a good repayment history can request a top-up on an existing loan or access an overdraft facility. This is one of the key benefits of building a strong repayment record with HerLends. Contact us on WhatsApp to discuss your options.

How do I apply?

+
Click the "Apply Now" button at the top of the page. You will first be asked to read and agree to our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. The application form takes about 5–10 minutes to complete and covers your personal details, employment, loan request, referees, next of kin, and ID upload. Once submitted, our team will review your application and reach out via WhatsApp.

How long does it take to receive my savings after requesting a withdrawal?

+
It depends on which plan you are on:
  • FlexSave Plan — withdrawals are typically processed within 1–2 days after you apply, and in some cases even within a few hours depending on network traffic and availability. To qualify for a withdrawal, you must have a minimum balance of UGX 10,000 that has been saved for over 1 month.
  • GrowthLock Plan — because your savings are locked in for a fixed period to earn the higher 12% per annum interest rate, withdrawals are only available after a minimum of 12 months of savings. Early withdrawal requests before the 12-month period will be reviewed individually. You must also maintain a minimum balance of UGX 10,000.
Contact us on WhatsApp at 0793 535 462 to request your withdrawal.
