Urgent secured loans at Aqsha24: terms, APR and amount to card in 15 minutes
What can be pledged and how much will Aqsha24 give urgently
Cars, real estate, electronics, and gold are accepted as collateral. The maximum amount of an urgent secured loan and the term depend on the type of property. Let’s break down what qualifies and what funds you can expect.
What types of property are accepted and how much you can expect
| Type of collateral | What qualifies | Amount | Term | Rate / APR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Car | Passenger cars up to 15 years old, without pledges in other MFOs | up to 600,000 ₸ | 7–180 days | 0.1–0.15%/day, APR 35–50% |
| Real estate | Apartments, houses, commercial property in Almaty | up to 600,000 ₸ | 30–180 days | 0.1–0.15%/day, APR 35–50% |
| Electronics | Smartphones, laptops, tablets, home appliances (not older than 3 years) | up to 300,000 ₸ | 7–90 days | 0.1–0.15%/day, APR 35–50% |
| Gold | Jewelry of 375–999 fineness | up to 200,000 ₸ | 7–60 days | 0.1–0.15%/day, APR 35–50% |
How property is valued and what percentage of the value is given
Valuation is done via photos in messenger, with a specialist visit — the borrower receives 50–70% of the market value, while pawnshops usually give 30–40%. For electronics and gold, it’s enough to send 2–3 photos via WhatsApp or Telegram: the appraiser checks the condition, completeness, and metal fineness within 5–10 minutes. Real estate and cars require an appraiser visit — they compare data with prices on Almaty platforms (Krysha, Olx) and record body defects or layout; if the property is registered in the city, the process takes 1–2 hours including travel. For an urgent secured loan for electronics or gold, photo valuation is the fastest way to get funds without visiting the office: you save time on travel and queues.
Can you pledge property that is still on credit or already pledged
You cannot pledge property with an existing encumbrance from a bank or another MFO — each MFO checks debts through the National Bank of Kazakhstan’s state registries before issuing a loan. If electronics were bought in installments without collateral (e.g., via Kaspi Red), they can be pledged: the main thing is that there is no registered encumbrance in the MFO database. A car bought on credit but already paid off and removed from the collateral register qualifies, but a certificate of no debt is required. The exception is mortgaged real estate: it cannot be pledged until full repayment, even if there are no arrears, because the creditor bank has already registered a lien on the property. Check the property status in advance via egov.kz — this will save time if you are planning an urgent secured loan for a car or apartment.
Terms, rate and APR: how much you actually overpay
The main question for a borrower is how much you actually overpay. Let’s break down the rate, APR and show a calculation using the example of 100,000 ₸ for a month.
What is the rate and APR for a secured loan at Aqsha24
We set a rate of 0.1–0.15% per day, which corresponds to an APR of 35–50% per annum — fixed terms without hidden fees, specified in the collateral agreement. The daily rate depends on the amount (50,000–600,000 ₸) and term (7–180 days): for 30 days at 100,000 ₸, it’s 0.1% per day, or 3,000 ₸ overpayment for the entire period. APR (annual effective interest rate) includes all loan payments — interest, service fees, insurance — in this service there are no additional fees, so APR equals the nominal rate. Before signing the agreement, request a detailed repayment schedule — this allows you to check whether hidden charges that increase the actual overpayment are included in the amount.
Calculation example: how much you overpay for 100,000 ₸ for a month
| Parameter | Regular loan | First loan (0%) |
|---|---|---|
| Amount | 100 000 ₸ | 100 000 ₸ |
| Term | 30 days | 30 days |
| Rate | 0.1%/day | 0%/day |
| Overpayment | 3 000 ₸ | 0 ₸ |
| Total repayment | 103 000 ₸ | 100 000 ₸ |
| GESV | 35–50% | 0% |
Your first collateral loan with us is at 0% for up to 30 days, allowing you to save up to 4,500 ₸ and test the terms without overpayment.
Why it’s important to look at APR, not just the daily rate
APR is the only objective indicator of the total cost of a loan: it includes all payments, including interest, fees, and insurance, unlike the daily rate, which can be misleading. Some MFIs advertise a low daily rate (0.05%) but add a disbursement or account maintenance fee — resulting in an APR of 80–100%. Under the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan ‘On Microfinance Activities’, MFIs are required to disclose the APR in the contract before signing: if the borrower sees a difference between the daily rate and APR of more than 2 times, it’s a sign of hidden charges. When comparing offers, always request the full payment schedule and calculate the total overpayment in tenge, not just the daily percentage — this way you’ll see the real cost of the loan.
Requirements for the borrower and collateral + documents
To get an urgent collateral loan, no income certificates or guarantors are needed. Just a passport and property documents. Let’s break down the requirements for the borrower and the package of papers for different types of collateral.
Who can apply for a secured loan at Aqsha24
We issue collateral loans to citizens of Kazakhstan aged 21 and over, without income certificates or guarantors — just an ID and property documents. Solvency assessment is based solely on the liquidity of the collateral: for cars, we check the year of manufacture and condition; for real estate, the market value according to the cadastre; for gold, the purity and weight based on exchange quotes. The maximum loan amount is 600,000 ₸, term up to 180 days, rate from 0.1% per day. A bad credit history is not an obstacle — the decision is based on the collateral value, not the credit rating, which distinguishes MFIs from banks, where rejection occurs due to past loan delinquencies.
What documents are needed for different types of collateral
- Car: ID, vehicle registration certificate (PTS), vehicle registration certificate — originals, notarized copies.
- Real estate: ID, title document (purchase agreement, certificate of ownership), BTI technical passport.
- Appliances and electronics: ID, receipt, warranty card (if available), photo of the item for online assessment.
- Gold: ID, photo of the items for assessment — purity and weight are determined by photo or in-person inspection.
- Encumbrance check: For cars and real estate, the MFI checks for any liens through state registries — if the property is already pledged, the previous loan must first be repaid.
How to apply online: step-by-step guide
You can get a collateral loan entirely online — the whole process takes about 15 minutes, from application to receiving funds on your card. This step-by-step guide will help you complete it without errors.
Step 1 — Online application on the Aqsha24 website
Fill out the online application on our website — specify the amount, term, and type of collateral, upload photos of the property — this takes 2–3 minutes. The form only requires your IIN, ID number, and contact phone; no income certificates, employment statements, or guarantors are needed. After submission, the system automatically checks the data against the National Bank of Kazakhstan databases and sends the application to a credit manager. If you fill out the form during business hours (9:00 AM to 9:00 PM), they will call you back to clarify details within 3–5 minutes — no need to wait hours or days like with bank lending.
Step 2 — Property assessment and approval
We assess the property online via photos or with a specialist visit — a decision is made within 10–15 minutes after assessment. For a car, three to four photos are enough: front, back, interior, and VIN number; for real estate, photos of the facade and ownership documents. The specialist checks the condition of the item, market value on Kazakh platforms (Krisha, OLX), and any outstanding debt if the appliance or car is still on credit. Gold and household appliances are assessed from 2–3 photos in a messenger within 5–10 minutes — no need to bring the item to the office, which is convenient for urgent financial needs.
Step 3 — Collateral agreement, encumbrance registration, and funds to card
After approval, we draw up a collateral agreement, register the encumbrance with state authorities, and transfer funds to a Kaspi, Halyk, Jusan, or Forte card — the entire procedure takes up to 15 minutes. The agreement is signed with an electronic digital signature (EDS) via the eGov Mobile app or SMS code — no need to go to the office. Registration of the pledge in the State Real Estate Rights Register (for real estate) or the Movable Property Pledge Register (for cars and appliances) happens automatically, without the borrower’s involvement. Funds arrive instantly — to Kaspi Gold and Halyk cards within 1 minute, to Jusan and Forte cards within 5 minutes. The property remains with you — only the encumbrance (pledge) is registered in the state register, which is automatically removed after full loan repayment.
What happens to the pledged property and in case of default
The biggest fear for borrowers is losing their property. Let’s break down what actually happens with collateral, how to avoid problems in case of default, and how to check the organization’s legality.
The property remains with you: how collateral works without transfer
With a collateral loan, the property stays with you — only an encumbrance is registered in the state register, which does not prevent you from using the car, apartment, or appliance. You continue to drive the pledged car (Toyota Camry, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson), live in the apartment in the Tastak-2 or Samal-2 microdistricts, and use the laptop or washing machine — the lender does not take the items, but only records the right of claim through a collateral agreement executed under the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan ‘On Microfinance Activities’. With us, you can get funds against collateral urgently without parting with your property: after full loan repayment, the encumbrance is automatically removed within 1–3 business days — you don’t need to go to the CEC or ‘Government for Citizens’ yourself.
What happens in case of default: action plan and how not to lose property
- 1–7 days overdue: The lender reminds you of the payment via SMS and call — no penalty is charged, you can pay without consequences and without increasing the GESV.
- 7–30 days overdue: A penalty is charged (0.5% of the overdue amount per day), but most lenders offer restructuring — extending the loan term or reducing the monthly payment without additional fees.
- 30+ days overdue: The organization sends a pre-trial claim — if an agreement cannot be reached, the lender has the right to go to court to foreclose on the collateral, but less than 5% of cases reach this stage, as most borrowers agree on an extension.
- How to avoid losing property: Contact us before the overdue occurs — an extension for 7–30 days, partial repayment (from 10% of the amount) stops the accrual of penalties and preserves the pledged property.
How to check the legality of the organization and remove the encumbrance after repayment
- Checking legality: Go to the website finreg.kz, open the section ‘Register of Microfinance Organizations’, enter the organization’s name — if the organization is in the register of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan, it operates legally and is supervised by the regulator.
- Removing the encumbrance after repayment: After full repayment of the loan, the organization sends a notification to government agencies — the encumbrance is removed automatically within 1–3 business days, without your involvement and additional payments.
- Early repayment without penalties: You can repay the funds ahead of schedule — interest is recalculated for the actual period of use, penalties and fees for early repayment are prohibited by the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
- Confirmation of collateral release: After the encumbrance is removed, request a certificate from us — the document confirms that the property is free from collateral and will be useful when selling a car or apartment.
Removing the encumbrance and completing the loan
Urgent money against collateral is just the beginning of the transaction: after full repayment, it is important to ensure that the collateral is released and the property is free from encumbrance. Let’s look at how this happens and what to do if the organization delays the release.
How to remove the encumbrance after loan repayment
After full repayment of the loan, we submit an application to the Public Service Center or through the egov.kz portal to remove the encumbrance within 1 business day — the client does not need to go in person. The system automatically records the date of the last payment, and the organization sends an electronic notification to the ‘Auto-shubyt’ database (for cars) or to the State Corporation ‘Government for Citizens’ (for real estate). The encumbrance status changes within 2–3 business days after the application is registered — you can check this via a statement on egov.kz or at the nearest Public Service Center. Some organizations additionally issue a certificate of debt closure — request it by email to have documentary evidence. Make sure the contract specifies the deadline for removing the encumbrance — if the organization delays the process, you have the right to file a complaint with the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
What to do if the MFO does not remove the encumbrance
If the organization does not remove the encumbrance within the period specified in the contract, the borrower has the right to file a complaint with the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan through the finreg.kz portal, or file a lawsuit in court at the place of residence. In the complaint, indicate the contract number, payment dates, and attach documents confirming full repayment: receipts, account statements, screenshots of correspondence with the organization. The National Bank reviews applications within 15 business days and may issue an order to eliminate the violation with a fine of up to 100 MCI (about 369,200 ₸ for the current period). An alternative route is to file a statement with the prosecutor’s office if the organization does not respond to the regulator’s demands. Keep payment documents and correspondence with us — they will serve as proof of fulfillment of obligations in case of a dispute.
Conclusion
An urgent loan against collateral solves a financial problem in an hour but requires a conscious approach to choosing a lender and reading the contract.
Key takeaways
- Check legality — work only with companies from the register of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan on finreg.kz, otherwise you risk losing the collateral without a trial.
- Assess the real cost — the GESV includes all fees and insurance, not just the nominal rate shown on the website.
- Read the contract — pay attention to the deadlines for removing the encumbrance, penalties for late payment, especially if you take a loan for several months.
- Plan repayment — in case of prolonged delay, property is seized through court, but the collateral can be released early with partial repayment if specified in the contract.
- Keep documents — payment receipts, correspondence with the MFO will be useful in disputes over the amount of debt or the timing of encumbrance removal.
