The story

Beyond Credit is a Nigerian microfinance institution founded in 2016, focused on providing small-ticket working capital loans (from NGN 50,000, 1-9 month tenors) to low-income entrepreneurs across six states in south-west Nigeria. It operates as a traditional field-based microlender rather than a digital-first fintech, with in-house loan origination, guarantor requirements, and physical branch presence. Loans are bundled with credit-life and fire insurance cover.
