About Zelia Finance
Zelia is a Lagos-Nigeria-based credit-led neo-bank with powering convenient access to credit facilities for the underserved Nigerian markets. With Zelia, the young Nigerian will not have to worry about fee deadlines and the businessman will experience easier access to project financing.
We provide three (3) loan categories: Student Personal Loans, Tuition Advance (coming soon), and SME Loans.
For Student Personal Loans, individuals with valid identification can apply for amounts ranging from 5,000 to NGN 50,000. Eligibility starts at 5,000 Naira, and after successful repayment, they become eligible for higher amounts.
In the case of Tuition Advance, students initiate the application, and parents/guardians act as co-signers. Before submission, the application must be passed to a co-signer for acknowledgment and confirmation. The co-signer's banking history and creditworthiness determine loan eligibility, with amounts ranging from NGN 10,000 to NGN 500,000.
Entrepreneurs seeking SME Loans can request funding for Purchase Order Financing, Working Capital Needs, and Accounts Receivables Financing. Loan amounts, based on creditworthiness and eligibility, range from 10,000 to 500,000 Naira.
The repayment terms range from 61 days to 365 days with Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) from 2% - 36%. No service fees, late repayment charges are applicable.
Getting a loan is simple:
1. Get the App.
2. Sign up as a new user to create an account and submit the required KYC details (rest assured, we've streamlined the process to minimize form-related hassles).
3. Apply for a loan, selecting from options such as Tuition Advance, Student Personal Loan, or SME Loans. Once approval is granted, typically within 24 to 72 hours, the funds will be disbursed to your personal Zelia wallet. Users can then conduct transactions conveniently from there.
