Quick Loans For Private Sector Workers

Yes. The journey — application, eligibility decision, offer review, terms acceptance, repayment authorization, and disbursement confirmation — is designed to be completed end-to-end in the Credit Direct mobile app as a self-service experience.

Eligibility is determined during the application process and is based on your profile information, identity verification status, documentation, banking information, and the details you enter in the application.

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval — every application is assessed against verification requirements and lending criteria.

No. Customers below Tier 2 are not eligible for loan applications. If you attempt to apply, the app will prompt you to upgrade your tier first before you can apply.

Your loan eligibility and your loan offer are determined by a combination of your KYC level, employment type, income level, credit score, and repayment history.

The maximum loan amount accessible via the Credit Direct mobile app is N5,000,000. However, the amount you can access is subject to a review of your Net pay and Debt-Service Ratio.

We review your full name, date of birth, phone number, email address, residential address, occupation and employment details, and your relationship with Credit Direct products and services. Make sure your profile is accurate and up to date before applying — outdated information can lead to delays or declines.

You will need to provide:

1. Loan amount and tenure selection (within the eligible range)
2. Personal details — marital status, education level, and employment type
3. Employment type and the details required for your occupation category
4. Next of kin — full name, phone number, emaila ddress, relationship, and address
5. Bank Information — Banks Name, Account Name, and Account Number
6. Bank statement — upload or authenticate via MyBankStatement

Yes. Your progress is saved automatically and you can resume the application later without losing any data.

Yes — within the approved limits shown in your offer. The repayment amount recalculates in real time as you adjust amount and tenure, so you can see exactly what each combination costs before committing.

Three outcomes are possible:
‍
1. Approved — you receive an offer showing the approved amount, tenure, repayment details, and terms.
2. Declined — the application did not meet eligibility requirements at this time. Where permitted, you may receive information explaining the outcome.
3. Additional review required — you may be asked for more information or documentation before a final decision.

A valid bank account is requiredduring application. It is used for identity/account verification, repayment setup, disbursement-related processes, and application assessment. The account must belong to you, as this will be validated.

A mandate is your authorization for automated loan repayment. It allows repayments to be collected automatically on due dates via NIBSS direct debit or Remita. Setting up a mandate is required before your loan can be disbursed into your Credit Direct wallet.

Your offer shows the maximum available amount, available tenure options, applicable interest information, and repayment details. Review everything before accepting — you choose your final amount and tenure within the offered limits.

Once all required steps are complete — including a successful mandate — the loan is created and funds are disbursed automatically. In most cases the wallet credit follows shortly after acceptance.

If your loan shows as approved but you have not received funds, check the loan status in the app; if it remains in “Awaiting Disbursement” unusually long, kindly contact support.

Repayment is automated throughthe mandate you authorized: auto-debit on the due date via NIBSS/Remita. Your repayment method, frequency, instalment amount, and total repayment obligation are all shown in the app. Confirming a repayment action may require your transaction PIN.

Your loan status becomes Overdue, a late repayment penalty may apply, and you will receive failed-repayment and overdue notifications.

An overdue loan also blocks you from accessing new loans until it is resolved. If you anticipate difficulty paying, contact support before the due date.

Confirm the account number is exactly 10 digits, the account is active, and the account is in your own name. The name on the bank account must match your profile. Third-party accounts are not accepted.

Not necessarily. “Additional review required” is a normal outcome. It means we need more information or documentation before a final decision. Providing clear, accurate documents promptly is the fastest way to move your application forward.
