What Our Members Say
MicroBank Lagos gave me access to credit when traditional banks turned me away. Their smart scoring system looked at my actual business performance, not just my lack of collateral. Now I have a thriving business and a credit history.
The mobile app means I can bank from my shop without losing business hours traveling to a branch. Transfers are instant, and I can check my loan balance anytime. It's banking that fits my life.
I started with a ₦50,000 loan to buy ingredients in bulk. Six months later, my catering business has grown so much I just hired my third employee. MicroBank believed in me from day one.
The financial literacy workshops they offer taught me how to manage cash flow and plan for growth. It's not just a bank account—it's a partnership for success.
As a woman entrepreneur, I faced so many barriers to financing. MicroBank's inclusive approach and fair credit assessment gave me the opportunity I needed to prove myself. Now my salon is thriving.
The savings goals feature helped me build an emergency fund for the first time in my life. When my son needed medical care, I had the money ready. That peace of mind is priceless.

Banking Questions, Answered
The short version: no hidden fees, no surprises. Here's how our accounts, loans, and services actually work for Lagos communities.
What do I need to open an account?
Just a valid ID (National ID, Driver's License, or Voter's Card), proof of address, and a passport photo. We verify everything digitally in under 10 minutes, and your account is active the same day.
How does your smart credit scoring work?
We look beyond traditional credit bureaus. Our AI analyzes your transaction history, savings patterns, mobile money usage, and community references to build a fair credit profile — even if you've never borrowed before.
What are your loan interest rates?
Personal loans start at 2.5% per month (reducing balance), and business loans at 2.8%. Rates drop as you build your credit history with us. No processing fees, no hidden charges.
Can I repay my loan early?
Yes — and we encourage it. Early repayment has zero penalties. You only pay interest for the days you actually used the money, and it improves your credit score for future loans.
Are my deposits insured?
Absolutely. All deposits are insured by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) up to ₦500,000 per account, and we maintain full regulatory compliance with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We send reminders 3 days before your due date. If you miss it, you have a 7-day grace period with no penalty. After that, a small late fee applies, but we'll work with you to restructure if you're facing genuine hardship.
Do you charge monthly account fees?
Our basic savings account is completely free — no monthly fees, no minimum balance. Premium accounts with higher transaction limits and dedicated support cost ₦500/month.
Can I access my account outside Lagos?
Yes. Your account works nationwide through our mobile app, USSD banking (*945#), and our partner ATM network. International transfers are available through our partnerships with major remittance providers.
