In the digital age, applying for a personal loan is just a few taps away.
But convenience can be costly — especially if you ignore the fine print, hidden fees, or unregulated apps.
At Vizzve Finance, we want to help you borrow smart.
So here are the top 5 mistakes customers make when applying for online loans — and how you can avoid them.
❌ Mistake #1: Ignoring the Real Interest Rate
What most people do:
They see “2% interest” and think it’s 2% annual — but often it’s monthly, which means 24% per year!
How to avoid it:
✔️ Always ask for the APR (Annual Percentage Rate)
✔️ Use EMI calculators (Vizzve offers one in-app)
✔️ Don’t fall for low rates without reading the repayment schedule
💬 Vizzve Tip: We show you the full APR upfront — no surprises.
❌ Mistake #2: Choosing Unregulated Loan Apps
What most people do:
They download apps with flashy ads offering “instant money” — only to face harassment, data misuse, and fake penalties.
How to avoid it:
✔️ Only borrow from RBI-registered NBFCs or banks
✔️ Check for app reviews, ratings, and company website
✔️ Verify on RBI’s Sachet Portal for legality
💬 Vizzve Tip: Vizzve is a regulated fintech working with RBI-compliant partners.
❌ Mistake #3: Over-Borrowing Without Repayment Plan
What most people do:
Take more than they need just because the loan app approved a higher amount.
How to avoid it:
✔️ Borrow only what you can repay comfortably
✔️ Don’t use one loan to repay another
✔️ Have a clear EMI budget
💬 Vizzve Tip: Our app provides a loan affordability guide to help you plan.
❌ Mistake #4: Not Reading the Terms & Conditions
What most people do:
Click “Accept” without reading about processing fees, late penalties, foreclosure charges, and auto-debit consent.
How to avoid it:
✔️ Spend 5 minutes reviewing key terms
✔️ Ask customer care if something’s unclear
✔️ Save a PDF or screenshot of the agreement
💬 Vizzve Tip: Our loan documents are transparent, jargon-free, and downloadable.
❌ Mistake #5: Missing or Delaying EMIs
What most people do:
They forget EMI due dates or wait until the last minute — risking late fees and credit score damage.
How to avoid it:
✔️ Set auto-debit or calendar reminders
✔️ Pay 2–3 days in advance
✔️ Keep an EMI buffer in a sinking fund
💬 Vizzve Tip: We send auto-reminders, and our EMI calendar helps track all upcoming payments.
