Veend and SympliFi Partner to Provide An Alternative Stream of Secured Credit for Nigerians with the Veend Credit-Enabled Card
Friday, 16 June 2023 – We are thrilled to announce our groundbreaking partnership with SympliFi, a pioneer fintech platform for cross border credit, to enable Nigerians in the diaspora to help friends and family back home access cash and build credit responsibly through the Borderless Credit Solution.
This is an innovative solution that eliminates the need for costly cross border transfers and fees, while unlocking greater access to finance through the credit-enabled Veend card.
The credit-enabled card provides users in Nigeria instant access to low-interest, short-term loans on demand, anytime they need cash. The card can be used for business working capital, life emergencies, or to bridge them until their next salary. In addition, to empower our customers to safely build their credit history and start accessing higher credit limits, every on-time card repayment is automatically shared with the credit bureau in Nigeria.
Nigerians in Diaspora can guarantee credit without extensive paperwork. The card is mailed locally to the borrower in Nigeria free of charge. The card can be used conveniently anywhere in Nigeria, whenever cash is needed and for local online purchases. The account is easily managed by the borrower on the Veend app or USSD platform.
“Until today, Africans in the diaspora only had one way to financially support loved ones back home – sending money. Our partnership with Veend and the launch of this first of its kind card changes that paradigm, with a focus on financial empowerment. We have seen first hand how greater access to affordable credit can transform people’s lives. Through the card, we are empowering communities to unlock more financial opportunities and improve their well being, without barriers and borders.” announced SympliFi’s CEO and co-founder, Maurice Iwunze.
“We believe in the power of accessible credit and the transformative impact it can have on individuals’ lives. With this innovative partnership, we are leveraging the support of loved ones in the diaspora to create an inclusive financial ecosystem that unlocks countless possibilities for our customers. Through this credit card solution, Nigerians will have the ability to access credit instantly, enhancing their financial capabilities and empowering them to pursue their aspirations without constraints,” announced Veend’s CEO and co-founder, Olufemi Olanipekun.
