Common Questions

Questions From Financial Services & Microfinance Decision-Makers

Practical details on integration, data privacy, and operational adoption.

How does the system automate loan repayments from borrowers in Nigeria?

We integrate card tokenization and automated direct debit mandates (via Remita / Paystack) that trigger recurring deductions from the borrower's bank account on agreed repayment dates.

Can the platform verify borrower BVN and NIN?

Yes. We connect with accredited identity verification providers to validate customer BVN, NIN, date of birth, and facial biometrics during onboarding.

Is the ledger secure against internal employee fraud?

Yes. The system utilizes strict double-entry accounting where every debit must balance a credit. No transaction can be deleted; corrections require documented counter-entries with manager dual-authorization.
