How LoanLink Changed the Game for Our Users
Business Loan
Amaka Grew Her Wuse Market Stall into a Shop
Amaka needed ₦2M to move from a market stall to a proper shop in Wuse II. LoanLink matched her with a FCMB SME loan at 3.2% per month — ₦800,000 cheaper over the tenure than the first offer she'd received walking into a branch.
- ₦2,000,000 business loan secured
- Rate: 3.2% per month vs. 4.5% branch offer
- Approved in 48 hours
Mortgage
Chidi and Fatima Bought Their First Home in Gwarinpa
After years of renting, Chidi and Fatima used LoanLink's mortgage comparison to find an NHF loan at 9% p.a. — the lowest rate they'd seen. They moved into their Gwarinpa home six months later.
- ₦18,000,000 NHF mortgage matched
- Rate: 9% p.a. — saving ₦3.2M over 15 years
- Zero branch visits during comparison
Education Loan
Tunde Funded His MBA Without Draining His Savings
Tunde needed ₦4.5M for his part-time MBA at ABU Zaria. LoanLink surfaced a government-backed education loan with a 12-month grace period — he didn't pay a kobo until he graduated.
- ₦4,500,000 education loan approved
- 12-month grace period secured
- Repayment starts post-graduation
What Our Users Say
Trusted by Thousands of Nigerians
I spent three weeks going from bank to bank before a friend told me about LoanLink. I found a better rate in 4 minutes. I wish I'd known sooner.
Nurse, Abuja
As a small business owner, cash flow is everything. LoanLink got me a working capital loan at a rate I didn't think I qualified for. The ML matching is genuinely impressive.
Retail Entrepreneur, Garki
The transparency is what got me. I could see the total cost of credit for every offer side by side. No hidden charges, no surprises. That's rare in Nigeria.

Your Questions, Answered Honestly
We believe transparency builds trust. Here's everything you should know before you compare.
Is LoanLink free to use?
Yes, completely free for borrowers. LoanLink earns a referral commission from the lender only after your loan is successfully disbursed. You never pay us a kobo.
Will comparing loans affect my credit score?
No. The initial matching process uses a soft check that is invisible to credit bureaus. A hard credit check only happens if you choose to formally apply to a specific lender — and we tell you before that happens.
How does the ML matching actually work?
Our model was trained on millions of anonymised Nigerian loan applications and outcomes. It scores your profile against each lender's live acceptance criteria and predicts your approval probability, then ranks offers by total cost of credit (interest + fees). The whole process takes under 3 minutes.
Are the lenders on LoanLink legitimate?
Every lender on our platform holds a current CBN licence — either as a commercial bank, microfinance bank, or licensed fintech lender. We publish each lender's licence number on their profile page and re-audit the network every quarter.
What documents do I need?
For the initial comparison, just your BVN, employment type, monthly income, and the loan amount you need. If you proceed to a formal application, the lender will request supporting documents — we guide you through exactly what's needed for your chosen offer.
How quickly can I get the money?
Comparison results appear in under 3 minutes. Once you apply to a lender, disbursement times range from 24 hours (for fintech personal loans) to 5–7 business days (for larger business or mortgage loans). We show estimated disbursement time for every offer.
Is LoanLink available outside Abuja?
Yes. While we're headquartered in Abuja and our lender network has strong FCT coverage, LoanLink works for borrowers across all 36 states. Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano, and Ibadan users are well served by our current lender network.
