Minimum Criteria to Take a Loan
Dunami does not specify the minimum criteria needed to apply for a loan. As with most companies, your approval would be based on your credit risk.
How Long Will It Take?
The whole process, from creating your profile to finding out if you’ve been approved, should take about 15 minutes. If you are approved, then the payment is made instantly to your account. Depending who you bank with, this may still take a few hours to reflect.
Support Team Contact
There is no evidence that shows whether or not the support team is responsive or how long it takes them to respond to a query. They are available during normal working hours.
Social Media
When it comes to social media, Dunami appears to be non-existent, with the exception of a website and an incomplete LinkedIn page. Other than that, they have no social footprint.
Customer Reviews
Dunami features on Google Reviews and HelloPeter.
It’s difficult to get a good idea of how the public feels about the company. The only two Google reviews are on opposite ends of the spectrum, but neither of them are recent.
HelloPeter
HelloPeter is much the same as Google, with vastly different reviews coming from customers within the same general time period. These reviews are more recent than the Google ratings.
Average Rating:
Between Google reviews and ratings on HelloPeter, Dumani’s final average star rating is 2,75 stars out of 5.
