I can't get a loan!
Why was my loan application rejected?
Apologies on that, you can apply again in 15 days! It might be for different reasons:
- Not enough information found on the phone: You should increase your phone usage (Calls/SMS) to be eligible.
- We decided not to give you a credit at this time after analyzing your profile. Keep using your bank account with healthy revenues to get a loan soon.
I do not have access to my BVN phone number
You will need to visit your bank to update your BVN phone number.
Once this is done the new phone number can be verified in the FairMoney app during the application process. This can only be done once per day.
You will receive an OTP to enter in the app or dial *566*15*99# to generate an OTP.
Why can't I connect my card?
Ask your bank to enable your card for online transactions. You should be able to receive an OTP (One-Time Password) on your phone.
I paid 50 Naira but I didn't get a loan!
The loan transfer should be done instantly – but can take up to 24 hours. Please bear with us. If not received after 24 hours, please send an email to help@fairmoney.ng or call our Customer Service Hotline on 01 631 6097 from 9am-5pm every Mon-Fri.
I see "My bank account is not linked to my BVN"!
It might be a problem of your bank account registered with a middle name or an entry issue.
Please try another bank account, it might solve the problem!
