@Roxanne Cerga  Just based on the information you provided, I'm willing to bet it's not a legitimate lender.  There's quite a few examples in the verbiage above that just doesn't sound like it's written by a real lender.  Sounds more like someone from outside the country trying to pretend to be a real lender.  

For example, go on a real lender's webpage and try to find any mention of a "national identity card" (what even is that?), a "light" bill, or terms that include "repayment with a final balloon payment of principal at loan closing" (a "closing" most often refers to when funds are initial dispersed, so it wouldn't make sense for them also to be due in full at that time as well).

However, the biggest red flags (in my opinion) in the above terms are the offer to loan "100% funding", at 4% interest, for up to 30 years.  No real private lender is doing that.  Not to mention that they're asking for your bank account info to "receive the loan funds transfer".  Again, no real lender is going to wire the money directly to the borrower's bank account.  It just doesn't work that way.  

If I had to guess, this "company" is going to try to collect the 0.10% - 5.00% origination fee they mentioned (and probably towards the higher end of that range) up front, and then you'll never hear from them again.  

Be careful out there.  There's a lot of scammers posing as private lenders on the internet.  If it seems to good to be true, it usually is.
