There are many loan providers in Nigeria, but many of them come with some outrageous interest rates up to 25% in some cases. However, some commercial banks in Nigeria have come to the rescue with the introduction of low interest loans targeted at salary and non-salary earners. If you are wondering how you could get a low interest loan from banks in Nigeria, you have come to the right place; just read this post to the end.
There is no general requirements as every bank has it’s own unique eligibility requirements, so I have decided to list them seperately for each bank. If your bank is not on this list yet, don’t worry I will be updating this post regularly to showcase new entries.
