Lending built on plain numbers

Know exactly what you will pay back, before you borrow.

Aureus Capital lends to working Nigerians and the businesses they run. Every naira of interest and every fee is on the screen before you commit. No hidden charges, and we will never touch your phone contacts.

  • Full cost shown in naira, upfront
  • We never contact your phonebook
  • Decision in minutes, not days

Where every naira goes

    That is the whole cost. There is no insurance charge, no processing surprise, and no penalty for paying early.

    These figures are indicative. Your final offer depends on your affordability check.

    Apply for this amount

    Four steps, and you will know where you stand today

    1. Tell us who you are

      about 3 minutes

      Phone number, email, BVN and NIN. We use these to confirm you are you, and to check what you can comfortably afford.

    2. Link the account your money comes into

      about 2 minutes

      A read-only connection to your bank statement through our licensed partner. We can see the pattern of your income. We cannot move a naira from it.

    3. Get your decision

      usually under 15 minutes in working hours

      You see the amount, the rate and the full repayment before you accept anything. If we cannot offer what you asked for, we tell you what we can offer instead.

    4. Money lands, repayment is scheduled

      same day for approved applications before 3pm

      Funds go to your bank account. Your repayment dates are set up by direct debit mandate so nothing is forgotten, and you can pay off early at any time without a penalty.

    Can you borrow from us? Check before you apply.

    We would rather you knew now than after a credit check.

    What you need

    • You are 21 or older, and under 58 at the end of the loan
    • You live and work in Nigeria
    • You have a BVN and a NIN
    • Money has come into your bank account regularly for the last 3 months
    • You have a Nigerian bank account in your own name
    • For business funding: CAC registration and 6 months of business banking

    What you do not need

    • Collateral for most personal loans
    • A guarantor for a first loan under ₦500,000
    • A perfect credit history. A thin file is not an automatic no.
    • Anyone from your contact list. We never ask for a referee from your phone.

    What if we say no?

    You get a reason, in plain words, and the date you can try again. A decline does not stay on your record with us forever, and it costs you nothing but the credit check fee, which we refund if the decline was our error. We do not sell your details to other lenders.

    How we behave, written down

    Loan apps have given this industry a bad name in Nigeria. Here is what we will and will not do, so you can hold us to it.

    We will never contact your phonebook

    Not your family, not your employer, not your customers. We do not ask for contact list access, and our app does not read it. If you ever get a message from someone claiming to be us about your contacts, it is not us.

    Your data stays with us

    We collect what we need to lend responsibly and nothing more. We do not sell your details to other lenders or to advertisers. You can ask for a copy of what we hold, or ask us to delete it once your loan is settled.

    The price does not move after you sign

    The rate and fees in your offer are the rate and fees for the life of the loan. We do not add charges mid-term.

    Pay early and pay less

    Settle ahead of schedule and you only pay interest for the months you actually used the money. There is no early repayment penalty.

    What happens if you miss a payment

    No one is shouting at you. On the day a payment fails, we send a message. We will call within three working days to understand what happened and to agree a new date if you need one. A late fee applies only after 7 days, and it is capped.

    • Day 1: an SMS and an email, nothing more
    • Within 3 working days: a call from a named officer to agree a plan
    • After 7 days: a late fee applies, capped and shown in your agreement
    • Persistent default is reported to the licensed credit bureaux, as the law requires. We tell you before that happens.
    • We do not contact your family, employer or customers about your debt.

    For HR and finance teams

    Staff who are quietly servicing three loan apps are staff who are distracted and at risk. A documented scheme through us gives your people one transparent option, with repayments taken at source and a named contact on our side for your HR desk.

    • Repayment deducted through payroll, reconciled monthly
    • No cost to the company to set up
    • Your staff deal with us directly. You never see the detail of their finances.
    • One reporting contact, one monthly statement
    Arrange a scheme

    The questions people actually ask

    Do I need collateral?

    Not for personal loans, and not for most first business loans. Larger business facilities, generally above ₦2,000,000, may need security, and we tell you that before you spend time on an application rather than after.

    Do I need a guarantor?

    Not for a first loan under ₦500,000. Above that we may ask for one, and a guarantor is someone who agrees in writing, not a name pulled from your phone.

    Will you call my family or my boss if I am late?

    No. We contact you, on the number and email you gave us. We do not have your contact list and we do not want it. If you fall seriously behind we report to the credit bureaux as the law requires, and we tell you before we do.

    My credit history is not clean. Should I bother?

    Yes, apply. We look at what is coming into your account now more than what went wrong two years ago. A past default is not an automatic no, though it does affect the amount and rate we can offer.

    What if I want to pay off early?

    Pay whenever you like. You are charged interest only for the months you held the money, and there is no early settlement fee. Tell us through the app or on WhatsApp and we will give you the exact figure to clear.

    Why do you need my BVN?

    To confirm you are who you say you are, as every regulated lender in Nigeria must. A BVN does not give us access to your accounts and it cannot be used to move your money. It is an identity check, nothing else.

    What do you do with my bank statement?

    We read it to see what you can afford to repay. The connection is read-only through a licensed data partner, so we can see transactions but cannot initiate any. We do not share it, and you can revoke the connection once your loan is settled.

    How fast is the money, really?

    For a complete application in working hours, a decision usually comes in under 15 minutes and funds the same day if you are approved before 3pm. If something needs a human to look at it, we tell you that rather than leaving you refreshing the screen.

    Is the rate on this page the rate I will get?

    The calculator shows our standard pricing for each amount band. Your own offer depends on your affordability check, and it is shown in full, in naira, before you accept anything.

    Start with the number, not the paperwork

    Check what you would repay. It takes a few seconds, it costs nothing, and it does not touch your credit file. You only share personal details when you decide to go ahead.

    No documents needed to see a figure. No credit check until you apply.
