CBN waives the requirement for the provision of guarantors by Households and SMEs applying for its N50bn COVID-19 Targeted Credit Facility

— Central Bank of Nigeria (@cenbank) June 8, 2020

All applicants to the N50 billion credit facility, who have successfully completed the application processes and submitted their account details, should expect credit alerts 48 hours afterwards. If an applicant does not receive credit alert after 48 hours of submitting their account details, such an applicant should contact the CBN by calling 09010026900.

“All successful Household and SME applicants who have submitted their account details for the CBN N50bn COVID-19 Targeted Credit Facility should expect their accounts to be credited within 48 hours of such submission, otherwise they should call 09010026900.”

Successful applicants who are yet to receive their loans have been advised to visit here. Such applicants were also informed to submit “their account details in any bank of their choice.”

Recall that the CBN N50 COVID-19 billion Targeted Credit Facility was unveiled by the apex bank in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. The credit facility is aimed at providing financial relief to households and small businesses as they cope with the economic fallouts of the pandemic.

Nairametrics earlier reported that loan disbursements would be determined based on the activity, cashflow, and industry size of the beneficiaries. Each eligible SME will receive a maximum of N25 million while qualified households can access a maximum of N3 million each.

    What of the case whereby you are told that you are receiving the loan on a 9% interest rate at a center. That is if you’re going for #500,000 loan,you will be paying #45000 as monthly interest. Then #45000 in 12 months is #540,000 and in 3 years when the loan elapses, you are paying #1,620,000 as interest for a #500,000 loan. This is too much na!!!. Some years back, financial aid given to Farmers by fg usually where at very low or no internet rate. The interest payable for #500,000 in 12 months is more than the principal amount. How will people be able to pay that. Fg should look into this ooooo

      I think you are not getting the whole thing here, the interest rate is per Annual not monthly, the interest rate is 5percent for a year, that’s if you pay back the loan in one year, but it exist one year their interest rate will increase to 9percent per annual. So check out your calculation.

    What is fg saying about the interest rate which exceed the principal amount payable in 12 months. I.e #500,000*9%=#45000.#45000*12 months=#540,000*3years=#1,620,000. I use to think that aid given to Farmers where usually at very low or no interest rate.

    They already know where and who will receive what. The process is loaded heavily with political undertones. The arrangements is just a decor to fool the rest of us. If my observation is incorrect, let CBN published all beneficiary after the disbursements.

    My candid advice to every person in leadership is to transparent in whatever scheme that is rolled out in order foster trust in the mind of the followers, knowing that every thing you’re gathering here on earth is vanity. I can’t envy you greed and myopic leader who is acquiring everything, both the one that is meant for the poor.
