No, Paycredit is not a bank. We do not receive deposits from the general public nor do we offer savings or current accounts for now. PayCredit is a fully digital lending platform.

Please note: Your BVN does not provide access to your account. If in doubt, we encourage you to confirm this from your bank before you proceed

Yes, you can. However, the loan offer displayed to you is what we can provide at the time of your application. This can increase in future as we learn more about you and there are records as to your repayments with us.

Notifications are typically sent via in app notification and/or email immediately after your loan application is sent. If you have not received either of these, please check the ‘Loan History’ menu in the app to confirm the current status of your request.

There are a few reasons behind loan application rejections. The most likely reason is that our system did not receive sufficient data to score your application. Please ensure you are signed into Paycredit using your main mobile device, and also keep your data on while using the app in order for us to determine the best possible loan offer for you.

Another possible reason is that you may not have shared all of the information required in the application or provided invalid details.

However, there can be other reasons. As a responsible lender, we take steps to ensure we only extend credit to applicants who can afford it, so that our clients won’t become too indebted. It is possible that at this time, you don’t match the profile of individual we normally lend money to. Negative repayment patterns on previous obligations (including Paycredit loans) can also limit access to credit, or make it more expensive to obtain.

Whatever the situation, we recommend keeping the app installed and retrying in 1 – 2 months, as the criteria of these decisions are constantly refined.

Funds are typically received in your mobile wallet within a few minutes of receiving disbursement confirmation. We recommend checking your wallet balance by logging into our app with your credentials, as we do not process transfers to 3rd party or personal accounts.

Please note that due dates are fixed when your loan is approved. You can use the rollover feature on our app to help push your loan to a new month by paying the interest of the current month. Please ensure that you make your repayment on/before your agreed due date in order to continue having this service available to you.

We understand that financial circumstances can change suddenly, however, it is important to note that you can use the rollover feature on our app and you should only take a Paycredit loan if you are reasonably certain you have the means to repay within the agreed period. There may be fees associated with late repayments. In addition, defaulting loans are reported to national Credit Bureaus and this can severely affect your ability to access loans in future. We therefore advise you take every effort to meet your obligations on time.

Repayment is automatic, when loan is due the amount would be automatically taken of validated account, you can also topup your wallet and transfer to our bank accounts with details available on our mobile app and web portal.
