infact i believe platinum credit and such institutions are in breech of the CBK lending rule that one cannot repay more than 100% interest on what he/she borrowed and this was a good exit stratergy by the holding comapny. When the new government comes in place such institutions shall have to follow the rules of the game.
Unless centums strategy is to convert platinum to a microfinance then eventually a bank but look at our banking space,the big boys own and protect their turf.....anyway all the best.
Platinum is very popular with civil servants, i remember i took a loan with them once and they had direct access to my payslip coz i used to pay them through my payslip. i think they should follow the American way and give pay day loans or such. they make tons of money coz many people out there are desperate for small quick loans and the amounts they want can shock you. but platinum only focuses on those with payslips.

How much interest did you end up paying in comparison to original money borrowed?
problem of giving loans without security of a slip is that there is no way of recovering defaulters then you shall have a lot of good money chasing bad money
