TraderMoni – Government Micro Grants for Market Traders Nigeria
TraderMoni is a Federal Government of Nigeria initiative administered through the Bank of Industry (BOI) as part of the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP). Launched in 2018, TraderMoni provides collateral-free micro grants and loans to petty traders, artisans, and market women at the bottom of the economic pyramid. The programme is designed to financially empower traders who have no access to formal credit and cannot meet the requirements of commercial or microfinance banks.
TraderMoni loans start at ₦10,000 and increase progressively to ₦100,000 for repeat beneficiaries with a good repayment record. The first cycle is ₦10,000, increasing to ₦15,000, then ₦20,000, then ₦50,000, and finally ₦100,000. Interest is zero percent for the initial cycles as the programme is government-subsidised. Eligibility is based on market registration and being an active trader. Enrolment is done through market associations or via the GEEP agents visiting traders at their stalls.
TraderMoni is a Federal Government programme and all transactions are managed by the Bank of Industry on behalf of the government. While the programme has reached millions of traders since its launch, availability can depend on government disbursement cycles and political decisions. Always verify the status of the programme through official BOI channels before applying. TraderMoni is most suitable for small-scale traders who need starter capital to grow their businesses and have no access to conventional lending institutions.
