Why and how to migrate from Loandisk to Lendsqr

Loandisk has carved out a niche for itself in the crowded loan management software market. Since launching in 2015 from their Sydney, Australia headquarters, they’ve built a strong reputation among African lenders.

Loandisk’s client list is impressive, with over 600 users from a wide range of lenders, including microfinance organizations, established banks, and everything in between. They’ve even gained traction in nearly 40 countries around the world. 

This diverse clientele includes lending companies, cooperatives, banks, pension funds, Savings and Credit Co-Operative Societies (SACCOs), auto loan companies, payroll loan companies, and even investment firms.

What makes Loandisk so popular?  It boils down to three key things: it’s simple, efficient, and affordable. So, why switch to Lendsqr?

Lendsqr offers some tempting reasons to switch, especially for smaller lenders.

You may be feeling the financial pinch

The first, and potentially biggest, reason is cost.  Loandisk’s dollar pricing can be a burden for African lenders, especially when exchange rates fluctuate wildly.  Every currency swing can negatively impact your bottom line.

Loandisk’s current pricing sits at $298/month to access an account with unlimited users, unlimited loans, unlimited savings accounts among a long list of other features. Lendsqr offers a comparable platform with the same features for N200,000 ($200). That’s a massive cost saving, particularly for smaller lenders. 

Here’s the thing:  Loandisk might seem affordable upfront, but the true cost can quickly escalate when you factor in additional features. Integrating data access or other functionalities can become expensive add-ons.  Lendsqr takes a different approach, offering a more comprehensive set of features at a lower total cost.

In terms of functionality, Lendsqr is significantly superior

Feature for feature, Lendsqr surpasses Loandisk in almost every aspect (except accounting, which admittedly isn’t our main focus).  Even Loandisk’s existing accounting features might be considered a bit basic.

From robust loan origination and flexible repayment options including card, virtual account and direct debit payments, to a sophisticated loan decision engine; Lendsqr empowers you to make smarter decisions and grow your business.
