The main objective of this research was to determine how the credit policies of Pride microfinance enhance or affect loan repayment. The beneficiaries of loans from microfinance are considered as the clients or debtors of the lenders (microfinance institutions). Donors and practitioners have to set and advocate for policies that will ensure accountability and growth throughout loan repayment. The researcher used descriptive research design. Primary data was obtained by interviews using questionnaires and was analyzed in frequencies and percentages. Data was presented in tables and figures. Findings indicate that credit policies are relevant because they favored most of the clients and they assisted the organization in reducing the bad debts. Therefore, there is a significant relationship between credit policies and loan repayment.
