Credit Direct – Salary and Consumer Loans Nigeria

Credit Direct Limited is one of Nigeria's leading consumer finance companies, specialising in salary-backed personal loans for employees in both the public and private sectors. A subsidiary of FCMB Group Plc, Credit Direct has been operating for over a decade and has disbursed billions of naira in personal loans to Nigerian workers. The company is headquartered in Lagos and serves customers nationally through its network of offices and online application channels.

Credit Direct offers salary advance and personal loans from ₦100,000 to ₦5,000,000 with repayment terms of up to 24 months. Loan disbursement is typically done within 24 hours once all required documentation is submitted and verified. The primary requirement is salary domiciliation at Credit Direct's partner accounts or proof of income from an approved employer. Required documents include a valid ID, payslips, a bank statement, and an employer confirmation letter.

Credit Direct is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and operates as part of the FCMB Group, providing additional credibility and stability. The company reports loan performance to Nigerian credit bureaus, which means responsible repayment helps build your credit score. Credit Direct is particularly strong for civil servants and employees of large private companies where they have established payroll partnerships.
