MoneyCat Interest Rate: Current Terms and Promo Checks
Contents
MoneyCat's homepage publishes 11.9% monthly interest and maximum APR 145%, with loans from ₱500 to ₱20,000 over 3–6 months. These figures were retrieved October 26, 2026 for the November edition. The page advertises interest as low as 0%, but that alone does not confirm a fee-free first loan for every new borrower.
Check the 0% promotion
Earlier pages described a first loan with 0% interest and no processing fee. Those full conditions were not reconfirmed in this review. Treat any ₱0-cost example on this site as conditional: it applies only if your current written offer shows no interest, no mandatory fees, and no deductions, and you repay on schedule.

Monthly interest and annual figures
At 11.9%, ₱5,000 × 0.119 equals ₱595 interest for one month before fees. This is an illustration, not a quoted 30-day loan. Multiplying 11.9% by twelve gives 142.8% nominal annual interest. Annualizing a hypothetical 30-day cost using 365 days gives approximately 144.8%. Neither calculation independently verifies the lender's quoted 145% APR or accounts for an installment schedule.
For a multi-month loan, do not assume the interest is always calculated on the original amount. Record the balance basis, payment dates, fees, and net proceeds. Compare the total repayment and a cash-flow-based APR when available.
Current term and older examples
The homepage retrieved October 26 says 3–6 months. Older captures showed 65–180 days and 10-, 20-, or 30-day calculator options. Those older displays do not establish current availability. Confirm the dates in your agreement and avoid treating a one-month cost illustration as a product offer.
How to read your offer
- If offered 0%, check all processing and service fees as well as interest.
- Record the amount received, each installment, and the total repayment.
- Read late-payment and extension charges before accepting.
- Compare against VPlus, Moca Moca, and other offers using the loan calculator.
