Loans with open overdue debts at Mikrozaimy: real terms, APR and approval chance
Do they give loans with open overdue debts — honest answer
Yes, Kazakhstani MFIs lend money to borrowers with existing debts, but not to everyone — approval depends on the amount and duration of the overdue, not on the fact of its existence.
Is it realistic to get an online loan with open overdue debts
We lend money to people with existing debts — the company is more loyal than banks and does not automatically reject due to a credit history record. Scoring analyzes not the fact of overdue itself, but its parameters: debt amount (up to 15,000 ₸ is considered non-critical), days from payment date (up to 7 days — green zone) and total debt burden on other loans. For example, a client with one overdue of 10 days for 12,000 ₸ received approval for 150,000 ₸ if their income covered the monthly payment, while a debt of 100,000 ₸ with a 60-day overdue almost certainly led to rejection. In the practice of local MFIs, there were cases where borrowers with overdue up to 14 days received up to 200,000 ₸ with stable side income. An open overdue reduces the approval chance but does not make it zero — scoring evaluates the overdue amount, its term and total debt burden.
How MFIs are more loyal than banks to borrowers with overdue debts
We do not block an application due to a single overdue — the company looks at current solvency, not an ideal history. Second-tier banks (Kaspi, Halyk, ForteBank) during scoring more often reject a borrower with any open overdue, even if it arose due to a transfer delay between cards on weekends. For MFIs, it is more important whether a person works officially or has stable side income, rather than a flawless line in the credit report. Banks often reject for any overdue, while MFIs consider that overdue may be temporary or technical — this gives a chance to get money without certificates and guarantors.
Is loan approval guaranteed with overdue debts
No, MFIs do not guarantee 100% approval — the decision is made by the scoring system, and an open overdue reduces the chance. If the overdue lasts more than 30 days or you have several overdue debts simultaneously, scoring may reject to avoid worsening the client's financial situation — this is an honest policy that protects against debt growth.
How open overdue affects approval and MFI scoring
We analyze how the scoring system evaluates a borrower with open overdue debts and which parameters in the credit history determine the approval outcome.
Do MFIs check credit history at PCB/GCB
Yes, we check credit history at PCB and GCB — this is a mandatory step of automated scoring, even if the applicant has an open overdue. The system requests reports from both bureaus to get a complete picture: current debt amount, number of overdue days, number of existing obligations and total debt burden — the ratio of monthly payments to confirmed income. For example, if a client has an overdue of 15,000 ₸ on a Kaspi Red installment card lasting 12 days, scoring sees it as a minor technical glitch, not a critical default. But a loan of 300,000 ₸ with a 45-day overdue immediately falls into the red zone. Checking credit history does not mean automatic rejection — scoring weighs the whole picture: the age of the overdue, its amount, total number of overdue debts and current level of indebtedness.
How open overdue affects scoring in MFIs
With us, an open overdue reduces the scoring score but does not nullify it — the system calculates the ratio of the overdue amount to monthly income and the delay duration. If the overdue is up to 7 days, it is considered technical — scoring hardly reduces the score, especially for amounts up to 10,000 ₸. If the delay is 15–30 days and the amount is up to 50,000 ₸, the score drops moderately, but approval remains if the monthly payment on the new loan does not exceed 40–50% of income. The critical zone is overdue of 30+ days with an amount from 100,000 ₸: scoring evaluates such a borrower as high-risk and more often rejects. It is this threshold (30 days / 100,000 ₸) — the main frontier after which chances drop by half, so for a small delay it is better to apply immediately, without delaying until debt accumulates.
Which overdue debts are critical and which are not — impact table
| Type of overdue | Impact on scoring | Approval chance |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 7 days (technical), amount up to 10,000 ₸ | Minimal — almost does not reduce score | High |
| 7–30 days, amount up to 50,000 ₸ | Moderate — score drops by 15–25% | Medium |
| 30+ days, amount from 100,000 ₸ | Significant — score drops by 40–60% | Reduced |
| Several overdue debts simultaneously on different loans | Critical — system evaluates as systemic default | Low |
Loan terms, interest rate and APR in case of overdue
We analyze the amount, term and rate you can expect with existing overdue debts, how overpayment is calculated and what makes up the APR — with a clear example.
What amount and term are available with existing overdue debts
With us, the loan amount for existing overdue debts ranges from 5,000 to 150,000 ₸, the term — from 7 to 60 days, and the rate is 0.1–0.15% per day. These parameters are fixed, but the final limit is determined by the scoring system: it analyzes the debt burden, number of overdue debts and their age. For example, if the overdue is single and up to 30 days, the limit may be closer to the upper limit — 5,000–150,000 ₸, and if there are several overdue debts in the last six months — reduced to 50,000–100,000 ₸. The borrower chooses the term independently within 7–60 days, the rate does not change depending on the term. It is important to understand: a loan with overdue is issued on the same basic terms as a regular one — there is no separate 'penalty' rate for such borrowers. The maximum amount depends on scoring: the higher the debt burden, the lower the limit — this is protection against excessive debt, not discrimination against the client.
Overpayment and APR calculation — example
With us, the APR for a loan with overdue debts is 35–50% per annum — this is a fixed range, without hidden fees or additional charges. Let's look at a specific example: you take 100,000 ₸ for 30 days at a rate of 0.1% per day. Daily overpayment — 100 ₸ (100,000 × 0.1%), over 30 days it accumulates to 3,000 ₸, the total amount to repay is 103,000 ₸. The APR under such conditions will be about 40% per annum — that is, the total cost of the loan does not exceed 40% of the amount on an annual basis. The contract, available before signing, specifies all figures: amount, term, rate, overpayment and APR — this eliminates surprises upon repayment, so before applying, check the 'Payment Schedule' section in your personal account.
Mikrozaimy loan parameters — summary table
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|

How to apply for a loan with overdue debts online — step by step
Step-by-step instructions for those who want to get a loan with existing overdue debts: from document collection to receiving money on the card. The process is fully online, no office visit required.
What documents are needed for a loan with overdue
For a loan with overdue, we only need an ID — no income certificates, guarantors or collateral. The microloan is issued using the ID: series and number, date of issue, IIN. The scoring system checks data against the CEC database and credit history from PCB/GCB — no copies of work record book or IIN tracker statements. The application is filled out on the website in 3-5 minutes, all fields are mandatory: full name, contact phone, amount and term. The absence of certificates does not mean that income is not checked: scoring assesses solvency based on indirect data, including payment history on previous loans.
Step-by-step process — from application to money on card
- Step 1 — application: on the Mikrozaimy.kz website, specify the amount, term and contact details — the form takes 2-3 minutes.
- Step 2 — scoring: the system checks credit history in PCB/GCB, age, income stability and current debt burden.
- Step 3 — contract: after approval, all conditions (amount, rate, APR, payment schedule) are displayed before signing — you sign with digital signature via SMS.
- Step 4 — disbursement: money is transferred to a Kaspi, Halyk, Jusan or Forte card within ~15 minutes after signing.
What to do if the MFO refused due to overdue
If Mikrozaimy refused due to overdue, first check your credit history at PCB or GCB — there may be a technical error (duplicate record, overdue already closed but not updated in the database) or the overdue belongs to another person with similar data. You can request a free report once a year via eGov.kz or the PCB website — it will show all open and closed overdue debts for each creditor. If you find an error, submit an application to the credit bureau for correction — review period up to 30 days, but minor inaccuracies are corrected in 3-5 business days. After correcting errors or repaying a small overdue, you can submit a new application — the scoring will recalculate the score taking into account new data, and the chances of approval will increase.
What to do if the bank refused — how to increase the chance and check legality
A bank refusal due to an open overdue is not a death sentence: many MFOs in Kazakhstan consider such applications. But before submitting documents, it is worth adjusting the loan parameters and making sure the lender is legal.
How to increase the chance of approval with overdue
With us, the chance of approval can be increased by reducing the debt burden: repay small overdue debts up to 7 days or reduce the requested loan amount from 150,000 ₸ to 50,000 ₸. The scoring system assesses not so much the presence of overdue, but the ratio of monthly payments to income — if you have an open overdue on one loan for 15,000 ₸ and you request 200,000 ₸, the risk of refusal is higher than if you request 30,000 ₸. Partial repayment of an old debt before submitting a new application is the most direct path to approval. Do not take a loan to close another overdue — this increases the debt burden and reduces the chance of approval; it is better to first restructure the old debt directly with the current creditor.
How to check the legality of an MFO in the register of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan
- Step 1: Go to the website of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (nationalbank.kz) in the 'MFO Register' section and open the search bar.
- Step 2: Enter the organization name — for example, KMF, Moneyman, or Solva — and click 'Find'.
- Step 3: Make sure the company status is 'active', not 'suspended' or 'excluded' from the register.
- Step 4: Check the TIN and legal address from the register against the data on the MFO's website — a discrepancy signals document forgery.
- Step 5: If the MFO is not in the register, it operates illegally: no borrower rights protection, inflated rates, and personal data may be compromised.
Risks of a loan with an existing overdue debt — an honest warning
The main risk of a loan with an existing overdue debt is increased debt burden: the new loan raises the monthly payment to 50-60% of income, and you may not be able to handle two obligations at once. In our practice, a client took 40,000 ₸ to pay off a 25,000 ₸ overdue debt, but a month later had two debts instead of one — the total payment exceeded half his salary. Before applying, use the loan calculator on the MFO's website to see if you can afford both payments. If you don't repay the new loan on time, the overdue amount will grow, and your credit history will worsen — reducing your chances of approval in the future. Therefore, a loan with an existing overdue debt should only be taken when you are confident that your income covers both payments without new delays.
Conclusion
We have covered how lending to borrowers with existing debts works in Kazakhstan: from scoring and conditions to step-by-step application and MFO verification.
Key takeaways
- Reality of approval: MFOs are more lenient than banks and assess the situation comprehensively, but they do not guarantee 100% approval — the amount and duration of the overdue debt determine the outcome.
- Scoring does not eliminate the chance: an existing overdue debt reduces the likelihood of approval, but scoring considers the debt amount, duration, and current debt burden.
- Check before applying: request your credit history from PCB or GCB and ensure the MFO is in the National Bank of Kazakhstan's register — this protects against fraud.
- Overpayment is fixed: APR 35–50% per annum is the range without hidden fees; calculate it in advance to avoid a debt trap.
- Risk assessment: a new loan increases debt burden, so make sure you can repay it before applying.
