Each tracked plan is tested with its own real-money deposit and ranks separately on the board. Untracked plans show the app's own advertised rate.
Best for
Salary earners (especially state/federal/public-sector staff) who want fast, no-collateral loans, plus savers chasing a high headline yield (up to 21%) with flexible or fixed options.
Not great for
Anyone who needs NDIC-insured safety (this is a finance company, not a bank), or cost-sensitive borrowers — the "4–4.95% monthly" loan rate is a flat rate that works out to a far higher effective APR.

Pros

  • +Established, large-scale lender (2M+ customers) with fast salary-backed loans — up to ₦20M, up to 36 months, no collateral/guarantor
  • +High headline savings: Yield up to 21% p.a. (flexible or fixed) + 10% p.a. on the app wallet
  • +Multiple low-friction channels (app, USSD *5120#, WhatsApp, web portal); no pre-liquidation charge on loans

Cons

  • NOT NDIC-insured (finance company, not a bank) — Yield/wallet savings carry provider risk, not deposit insurance
  • Loan cost is high — flat 4–4.95%/month ≈ ~85–105% effective APR (the monthly figure understates it)
  • Loans are largely salary-gated (govt/private payroll, debit mandate, credit check); not open-access credit

Our honest take

A long-established salary lender that now pairs credit with a high-yield wallet and Yield savings. The loans are fast and convenient but expensive once annualised; the savings yield is among the highest advertised — just remember it's a finance company, not an NDIC-insured bank, so weigh the provider risk. Strong for quick salary-backed credit and yield-chasing with eyes open.
