Most Nigerian business owners juggle multiple apps to receive and make payments for their business, and it’s a quiet frustration they rarely talk about.

The most frustrating part is that across all these apps, after all the payments in and out, the balance sits in a business account, idle, earning nothing.

It is just how traditional business accounts are designed. They hold your money safely and move it when you ask. That is their full value proposition. Looking for money growth? That one is your problem.

For smart businesses, that idle time is a profit centre. Petty traders in the market use that balance for Ajo or Esusu. Others give it out as risky loans. The goal? Make my money work.

Credit Direct Business is the simplest, safest, and fastest way to put your company’s funds to work and earn more for your business.

What Is Credit Direct Business?

Credit Direct Business is a wallet built specifically for Nigerian SMEs. It combines the basics like receiving payments, making single and bulk transfers, and managing payroll, with something traditional business accounts almost never offer: attractive returns on the money sitting in your wallet.

From the moment funds land in your Credit Direct Business account, they earn 15% per annum, accrued daily. No locking periods. No manual investment steps. Your operating balance grows daily, simply by being there.

And for reserve funds that are not immediately needed, Fixed Term Investments take this further, offering up to 20% per annum on amounts locked for a flexible tenor of 30 to 365 days.

The result is a business account that does not just hold your money. It puts it to work.

What You Get With Credit Direct Business

1. Daily returns on your wallet balance at 15% p.a.

With Credit Direct Business, every Naira sitting in your wallet earns interest daily. This applies to your regular operating balance, with no extra setup required. For a business maintaining ₦5 million in its account, that is meaningful passive income and extra cash flow generated without changing a single thing about how you operate.

2. Fixed Term Investments at up to 20% p.a.

You can earn even more when you have funds you won’t need immediately. You can lock them into a Fixed Term Investment and earn up to 20% per annum. Tenors run from 30 to 365 days, giving you the flexibility to match your investment horizon to your business cycle.

3. Bulk transfers for vendor payments

Credit Direct Business simplifies vendor and salary transfers. Paying 20 staff or 50 vendors one by one is a tax on your time. It handles bulk payments in a single action; clean, fast, and scalable as your team grows.

4. Automatic BNPL payouts

If your business already sells through Credit Direct Checkout, your Buy Now Pay Later earnings are paid directly into your Credit Direct Business account, automatically.
