Who can open an account with MicroBank Lagos?

Any Nigerian resident over 18 with valid identification (National ID, Voter's Card, Driver's License, or International Passport) and proof of business activity (business registration, market association card, or reference letter from community leader).

How quickly can I get a loan?

Most loan applications are reviewed within 24 hours. Once approved, funds are typically disbursed within 48 hours. For loans under ₦50,000, same-day disbursement is often possible.

What if I don't have collateral?

Loans under ₦50,000 typically don't require collateral. For larger amounts, we accept business equipment, inventory, or guarantors. Group lending circles also eliminate individual collateral requirements.

Can I bank without a smartphone?

Absolutely! Our USSD banking service works on any mobile phone. Dial our shortcode to check balances, transfer money, and make payments. We also have 15 branches across Lagos for in-person service.

What are the interest rates?

Microloan rates start at 2.5% per month (24% APR). Group lending rates are lower at 2% per month (20% APR). Savings accounts earn 4% annual interest. All rates are fixed and disclosed upfront with no hidden fees.

How do group lending circles work?

Form a group of 5-10 trusted business owners. The group applies together and shares responsibility for repayment. This allows access to larger loans at lower rates. If one member struggles, the group supports them.

Is my money safe?

Yes. MicroBank Lagos is fully licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria. All deposits are insured by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) up to the maximum coverage amount.
