Individual Financing

Your Goals Don't Wait. Neither Should Your Money. Structured personal credit for salaried workers and income earners — no collateral, no branch visit, repay at source.

What It Is

Core Consumer Credit. Built for Everyday Nigerians.

Individual Financing is Zerne Capital's core consumer credit product. It gives salaried workers and individuals with a verifiable income source a revolving credit limit they can draw on at any time — at partner merchants online or offline — and repay in fixed monthly instalments.

Unlike a bank loan, there is no collateral, no branch visit, and no weeks-long waiting period. Your income is your qualification. Your BVN is your verification. And your credit limit is available the moment you're approved.
