How do I pay for the loan that I have chosen?
When you select one or more loans to finance, Mekar will check if you have sufficient funds in your ‘Mekar Account’. If OK, Mekar will withdraw the funds from your Mekar account and transfer it to the Lending Partners managing those loans. If there are not enough funds in your Mekar Account, then we will notify you. You must then add your funds before completing the transaction, or remove some loans from your selection.
What is a Mekar Account?
A Mekar Account is like your own “virtual bank account” with Mekar. It is not a bank account though. Your Mekar Account number is your ID with Mekar. We use it to manage your top ups, funding transactions, and repayments to your account. There is one Mekar account number for every lender.
