Responsible borrowing

Borrow with clarity. Plan with confidence.

Credit can serve a purpose when it meets a genuine need and repayments are manageable. Take time to understand the commitment.

Clarity at every stepUnderstand your options before you decide.

Start with a clear purpose

Consider why you need the money, how much you actually need, and whether borrowing is the right option for your situation.

Look beyond the amount offered

Check the interest rate, fees, charges, repayment period, and total amount payable. Understand when payments are due and whether additional charges may apply.

Check your repayment capacity

Consider your regular income, essential expenses, existing debts, and other financial commitments. Make sure repayments can fit your budget without compromising essential needs.

Read the agreement

Review the loan agreement and repayment schedule before accepting. Ask for clarification about any term you do not understand, and keep a copy of your agreement and payment records.

Protect your personal information

Use verified channels when submitting information or discussing an account. Never share mobile money PINs, banking PINs, passwords, or one-time verification codes with someone claiming to process a loan.

Act early if repayment becomes difficult

If your circumstances change, contact UGANOVA through an official support channel. Ask what options may be available under your agreement; do not assume an extension or waiver is approved unless confirmed.

A loan should fit your financial plan, not replace one. If the repayments do not fit your budget, reconsider the amount or whether borrowing is appropriate.
