Understanding the Repayment Terms
1. Pezesha charges 4% for 30 days as the interest rate range for all borrowers under the Rocket Health partnership, Pezesha is open to reducing the interest rate as the borrower’s credit score grows based on graduated principal and their repayment behavior.
2. Rocket Health wholesale customers will have a 2-day grace period to repay their late loans. Once the pharmacies or medical facilities fail to repay the principal loan amount and interest the following penalties will apply.
3. For loans late by 3-15 days: a quarter of daily interest rate at 0.03%.
4. For loans late by 16-30 days: half of the daily interest rate at 0.07%.
5. For loans late by 31-180 days: full daily interest rate at 0.13%.
You can pay back your loan either by cash, mobile money, or bank transfer to Pezesha’s accounts.
