1. Repeat Applications and Credit Limits
JuanHand
What reviewers discussed
Sampled reviews reported that a displayed credit limit or earlier repayment history did not always lead to another disbursement, and some repeat applications were declined (₱11,000).
Representative User Example
May loan limit has been reached to 11,000. However, I just delayed one time for repayment due to emergency. But, I have still settled a full payment of my oustanding balances. After repayment, I try to reloan but it has been declined for may times.
Tala
What reviewers discussed
Sampled reviews reported that a credit limit stayed unchanged despite on-time payments, while the cost still felt high to them; interest or cost concerns alongside credit limits that were lower than they expected or did not increase after earlier use (₱15,000, since 2024).
Representative User Example
I've been a member since 2024, but until now, my credit limit is still stuck at 15k, even though I always pay on time.
What this may mean
A previous repayment or displayed credit limit may not carry over to a new application. Check the current offer and confirm approval, amount received, and total repayment before relying on funds.
