The three t’s of wealth building

Time

Time can be used to generate active income like a salary from a job. Or time can be used to generate passive income like interest income from financial investments.

Talent

You were born with an abundance of it, and it is valuable. Use it to solve problems that people are willing to pay for.

Treasure

Treasure is money. Spend it on things that will make it multiply.

Credit is a tool that can help you manage the three t's

Time

Credit can buy you time. As a bridge through times of reduced cash flow, as seed capital to start investing in tomorrow’s business ideas today, or to prevent unexpected emergencies from derailing your ability to cover today’s necessities as you get back on track.

Talent

Credit can be used to invest in yourself and increase your earnings potential. Acquire new skills, build new relationships, or put yourself in spaces that make you a better value creator.

Treasure

See a great business opportunity but don’t have enough cash to get started? Credit provides leverage so that you can fund future revenues by borrowing the cash you need today.

Here are some of the reasons that Migo customers take loans

The "credit commandments"

While there are many advantages to using credit, there are negative consequences when credit is misused. To use credit responsibly, follow these “credit commandments.”

Repay your loans on time

This is by far the best way to build your credit history. Borrowers who repay on time gain access to higher loan amounts and lower interest rates over time.

Preserve your credit record

Your credit record is visible to all financial institutions through credit reporting and can impact your ability to access credit in the future from any financial institution. Preserve your credit record by repaying all of your debts in full. Even if it takes you longer than you initially planned.

Do not borrow more than you can afford

A general rule of thumb is that your monthly debt should not exceed 35% of your monthly income.

Borrow for needs, not wants

Needs are business related expenses, emergency expenses, medical expenses, educational expenses and necessities like food, shelter and utilities. Wants are excessive entertainment, gambling or things you can live without.

Protect yourself from fraud

Beware of imposters

Only deal with lenders through their official distribution channels like their official website, app, USSD code etc. Beware of imposters that try to mimic these sites through other methods like fake websites, social media handles and google forms.

beware pre-payment scams

Do not borrow from any lender that charges you money up front for increased loan amounts or lower interest rates. This type of arrangement is likely a scam to take your money and run.

do not repay a loan with airtime

Any lender asking you to repay a cash loan with airtime is a scam to take your airtime.

repay your loan, not someone else's

Be absolutely certain that you are repaying your loan to your specific lender, toward your specific obligation. Do not pay money into a loan account that does not uniquely belong to you. This will result in you paying off someone else’s debts and losing your money.
