Bazaar ke Rukh aur Upbhokta logan khatir Kaam ke Salah
Fiji mein digital karza bazaar aage bhi badhta rahega. Takneek mein sudhar aur zyada logon ke smartphone istemal karne se, digital karza ki pahunch aur bhi badhegi. Lekin, upbhoktaon ko hoshiyar rahna chahiye aur soch-samajh ke faisla lena chahiye.
Aapke Liye Kaam ke Salah
Apne aap ko surakshit rakhne ke liye, in salahon par dhyan dein:
- Byaj Dar ki Tulna Karein: Hamesha alag-alag providers ke byaj dar (APR) ki tulna karein aur kul chukae jaane waali rashi ka hisab lagaein.
- License ki Jaanch Karein: Karza lene se pehle, Fiji ke Reserve Bank (RBF) ke website par jaakar lender ke license ki jaanch zaroor karein.
- Surakshit Apps ka Istemal Karein: Sirf un apps ka istemal karein jo majboot pehchan ki jaanch (KYC) karte hain, jaise ki ANZ aur HFC.
- Karza ki Seema Tay Karein: Utna hi karza lein jitna aap 6 mahine ke andar chuka sakte hain, taaki baar-baar byaj na lagta rahe.
- Credit Report ki Jaanch Karein: Har mahine apni credit report ki jaanch karein, taaki koi bina anumati ke karza ya galti na ho.
Yaad rakhein, digital karza ek suvidha hai, lekin iska istemal zimmedari se karna bahut zaroori hai. Sahi jankari aur savdhani se aap apne paise ke faisle behtar tareeke se le sakte hain.
