How to Verify a Lender Yourself
Check CBN Website
Visit cbn.gov.ng and navigate to Financial Institutions Directory. Search for the company name (not app name).
Check App Store Developer
On Play Store, check the developer name matches the licensed company. Avoid apps not on official stores.
Verify Company Address
Licensed companies have real office addresses. Search the address on Google Maps. Be wary of apps with only email contacts.
Check Recent Reviews
Read recent app reviews for complaints about harassment or fraud. Patterns of bad reviews are a major red flag.
Report an Unlicensed Lender
If you encounter a fraudulent or unlicensed loan app, report it to protect other Nigerians.
