FG opens new online portal to provide free loans
In other news, the Federal Government has officially opened the application portal for YouthCred, a new initiative that provides Nigerian youths, especially NYSC members and young entrepreneurs, access to loans without the usual hurdles of collateral or a long credit history.
The programme, powered by the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CrediCorp), is part of a broader move to transform Nigeria’s credit culture and financially empower the next generation.
The online platform is now live and allows eligible young Nigerians to apply for various credit products tailored to their financial needs and growth plans.
According to the organizers, YouthCred aimed to create a shift in how young citizens accessed and managed their credit. It features three main loan categories:
- Corper Credit: A short-term credit scheme for NYSC members.
- YouthCred Card: A flexible credit facility for young professionals, repayable over 12 months.
- Youth Entrepreneurs Credit: A business support credit line for young entrepreneurs to start or scale up ventures.
"Today, CREDICORP and NYSC signed a landmark partnership for YouthCred, credit designed to unlock dignity, opportunity, and a future without limits," the agency posted on X (formerly Twitter).
