The COVID-19 pandemic, which required little physical contact and fostered an increase in digital transactions, further accelerated this trend.

Nigeria’s FirstCredit offers quick and straightforward credit facilities, leveraging digital banking for remote locations and marking a significant milestone in the financial ecosystem.

Revolutionising Loan Access with FirstCredit

FirstCredit is an innovative leader in a nation where paperwork, security limitations, and prolonged approval times sometimes hamper traditional loan procedures.

FirstCredit offers loans accessible via smartphones or tablets, making traditional banking services inaccessible to many Nigerians, and offers speedy processing and quick disbursement of funds.

The simplicity compared to traditional loans, which often require extensive documentation and collateral, can be a barrier for many. FirstCredit simplifies the process by eliminating these requirements. All needed is an active mobile number registered for USSD banking and a history of regular account transactions with FirstBank.

FirstCredit provides flexible loan terms with a maximum loan amount of N300,000, a 30-day repayment tenor, an 8% flat interest rate, and a 5% insurance fee per transaction.

To qualify, customers must have been banking with FirstBank for at least six months, have a valid BVN, a good credit history, and use the mobile number registered for USSD banking. Regular account transactions further enhance eligibility.

Digital Lending: Transformation of Nigeria’s Economic Landscape

The move towards digital lending is a strategy for retaining market share and driving business growth and profitability. By leveraging technology, banks can offer personalized, efficient, and scalable financial services that meet the evolving needs of their customers, which FirstBank has leveraged on.
