💼 Create savings plans on the admin console

Some customers prefer not to use a web app or just don’t have the tech access. Others might be migrating from a previous savings system. Now, you can manually create savings plans for these users right from your admin console. This is perfect for onboarding non-digital users or syncing up historical savings data so everything is trackable in one place.

Set up a plan manually and give every customer a chance to grow their savings.

What’s Better?

🧮 Smarter engine for penalties and fees

Have you ever looked at a customer’s loan and struggled to explain where the penalty came from or how fees were applied? You’re not alone. Our previous engine for calculating penalties wasn’t always intuitive, and it made reconciliation harder than it should be. Now, we’ve completely rebuilt it.

Penalties and fees are calculated more accurately and displayed clearly on the loan details page in your admin console. No more guessing. No more confusion.

📆 History for loan schedule updates is now available

Ever updated a loan schedule and later needed to trace what changed or who made the update? Now you can. We now have a history log that shows every modification made to a loan’s schedule, including dates, amounts, and the admin user responsible.

This makes it easier to audit changes, resolve disputes, and stay in control of your loan records.

📨 View sent emails as comments on customer profiles

Need to check what communication has been sent to a customer before reaching out again? We’ve made it easier by surfacing email notifications directly as comments on the customer’s profile. Whether it’s a repayment reminder, mandate update, or loan disbursement notice, it’s now all visible in one place.

This helps your support team stay aligned and prevents repeated or conflicting communication.

What’s Cooking?

🍲 Ability to disburse loans in tranches

Let’s say you’re offering a ₦5M business loan, but your policy requires the customer to meet certain milestones before receiving the full amount. Now, you don’t have to disburse the entire loan at once. With the upcoming tranche disbursement feature, you’ll be able to break a loan into parts and disburse in stages as conditions are met.

This gives you better control, reduces risk, and helps ensure responsible lending.

📡 Credit reporting to credit bureaus

Lenders need credibility, and borrowers need accountability. That’s why we’re working on seamless credit bureau reporting for all your customers’ loan activities. With this, you’ll be able to automatically report repayment behavior — both good and bad — to licensed credit bureaus.

It improves the credit ecosystem, discourages serial defaults, and helps responsible customers build trust.

🔁 Ability for customers to request refinancing

Sometimes customers are in good standing but struggling to meet current repayment terms. Instead of defaulting, they can now request a refinance from the web app allowing them to restructure their loan with new terms. This gives you the flexibility to retain good customers and reduce NPLs.You’ll review requests, approve or decline, and manage new schedules, all from your admin console.
