Ecobank Nigeria has teamed up with the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CrediCorp) to provide affordable and easy-to-access loans for customers.
These loans can help cover expenses like school fees, rent, medical bills, car purchases or repairs, maintenance, and buying assets.
The offer is open to civil servants and private employees who receive their salaries through Ecobank.
New customers can also qualify if their employers agree to pay their salaries through Ecobank in the future. Starting this January, the program features flexible repayment plans and a simple loan application process.
CrediCorp, a Development Finance Institution (DFI) created by the Federal Government, aims to improve access to credit for Nigerian workers.
Through its partnership with Ecobank, CrediCorp will supply funds for Ecobank to lend to eligible customers.
The agreement includes personal loans and financing for items like solar systems, home appliances, phones, laptops, and vehicle conversions to compressed natural gas (CNG).
Adeola Ogunyemi, Ecobank Nigeria’s Head of Consumer Banking, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting its role in giving public and private sector salary earners easier access to financial services.

She said:
The loans have low-interest rates, a two-year repayment period, and a fixed monthly payment plan. This means the amount paid each month, covering both the principal and interest, stays the same throughout the loan term, no matter the country’s economic conditions.
