Billease as your first ever Virtual Credit Card | FinTech Review

Most online lending apps have high interest rates and engage in harassment activities with their clients. They hide their fees, which only appear after you have confirmed the loan amount. You will be shocked by the deductions once the loan is approved. They charge almost a 45% interest rate over a short period of time, from 7 to 14 days; 30-day terms are very rare among OLAs. These are so-called shark activities of illegal lending companies operating online. However, this application differs significantly from other lending applications in terms of interest rate, processing fee, transaction fee, and terms.

In my last article, I compared the features of Billease and GCash Borrow. You can read it here: “Which is better, GCash (GLoan) or Billease?” To learn more about this Fintech company, please read the entire article.
