Lazada Loans: What Online Shoppers Need to Know

Online shopping has never been this essential lately, and it’s safe to say that Lazada helped provide a convenient platform for Filipinos to shop for their needs. Another great deal of help they’re providing is their newest Lazada Loans feature, where shoppers can apply for a short-term loan for Lazada purchases. Here’s a guide to help you understand further.

What is Lazada Loans?

Launched last year during the Lazada 9.9 Sale^[1], Lazada Loans provides shoppers with an alternative way to pay for their online shopping, may it be for gadgets or grocery items. Lazada partnered with accredited mobile lenders to make this feature possible.

Lazada Loans allows shoppers to buy now and pay later with easy installment plans minus the credit card requirement. You can apply for a loan directly through the Lazada website or app and have your application approved within the same day. Once approved, you can use the loan amount to buy items from Lazada or pay your bills within the app.

Lazada Loans Features and Benefits

If you’re planning to make a small-ticket purchase, Lazada Loans can help you fund it. You can borrow money as high as PHP 50,000, depending on the lender.

• Easy Application. The entire process happens within the Lazada app. No need to head somewhere to apply and withdraw your proceeds.
• Low Interest Rate. The lowest interest rate clocks in at 3.98% but they also have a 0% interest rate promo that will run for the entire month of April.
• Fast Approval. Since the process is entirely digital, the approval can be as quick as five minutes but certainly not longer than 24 hours.
• Accredited Lenders. You can apply for more than one loan, thanks to the choices of accredited lenders that partnered with Lazada.
• Flexible Installment Plan. You can choose an installment plan of up to 6 months.

One key thing to note is that you can’t withdraw your loan outside Lazada. You can only spend your loan proceeds within their stores, so if you’re planning to borrow money to buy something elsewhere, make sure it’s available at Lazada.
