Where Zedvance can still improve
Zedvance finance application processes can be greatly improved by optimizing the Zedvance website to accommodate more devices. As it stands, some devices find it difficult to apply for loans through the site and this can drive away potential borrowers who want to lend money without having to download a mobile application or through WhatsApp.
As enticing as the Zedvance finance loan offers are, the rigorous application processes, alongside slow and unresponsive technology, make for a bad combination for users; loan application processes should be a convenient experience for borrowers.
Zedvance loan packages are solid all around and even stand to go a step further with the impending introduction of SME loans for entrepreneurs. If you have the patience and required documents to apply for Zedvance loans, the advantages in the end far outweigh the minor inconveniences the processes pose
