FairMoney – Instant Digital Loans Nigeria

FairMoney is a digital bank and lending platform that offers instant personal loans, savings accounts, and banking services to millions of Nigerians. Originally launched as a digital lender in 2017, FairMoney obtained a microfinance bank licence from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in 2021, expanding its product range to include savings accounts and bill payment services. The company is backed by prominent international investors including Tiger Global and Flourish Ventures, and has grown to become one of Nigeria's most widely used mobile lending apps, with several million users.

FairMoney offers personal loans from ₦1,500 to ₦3,000,000 with repayment terms of 2 to 18 months. Monthly interest rates start from 10% and vary based on the applicant's credit profile and loan history with FairMoney. Applications are made entirely through the FairMoney mobile app. After downloading the app, you create an account, verify your BVN, and request a loan amount within your pre-approved limit. Funds are disbursed within 5 minutes for eligible applicants.

FairMoney is licensed by the CBN and is a member of the NDIC. As a fully licensed microfinance bank, FairMoney offers the security of regulated banking alongside its lending services. The app includes a savings account feature where you can earn interest on deposits. FairMoney reports to Nigerian credit bureaus, so responsible borrowing contributes to a positive credit history. FairMoney is suitable for Nigerians who want a comprehensive digital banking app with convenient access to personal credit.
