#BorrowWisely Basics in the online universe during COVID-19 times  

2020 was a difficult year for the whole world, but BWC participants have proven that a common goal and engagement pay off – even with the restrictions and competition for the audience attention in the online channels nowadays.

This shows that the Borrow Wisely fundamentals are universal and important for the MFIs Clients. Key questions everyone should ask themselves, if they want to #BorrowWisely are:

  • How much can I afford to borrow?
  • Do I know how much I will pay?
  • Do I fully understand the contract?
  • How to control debt?
  • What should I do if I am not satisfied?
