We are an alternative Lending platform that provides everyone an opportunity to earn returns and make impact by lending to verified individuals who require financing while reducing the risk of default.
No, we are not a bank. All banking services are provided by our registered financial services partners. Peer Lendly has created a peer-to-peer lending platform in which we connect screened borrowers to lenders who are looking for a better return compared to a savings account and fixed deposits.
On Peer Lendly, there are varying levels of risk for the different borrowing requests and this is represented by their Lendly Score. We have also provided a detailed explanation of the risks involved and how we have minimised it while designing the product. We have utilised our proprietary AI scoring model to screen Borrowers and their requests.
The safety and security of your Peer Lendly account is our highest priority and we have taken significant steps to ensure your accounts and personal data are safe.
Our app is easily accessible on Google Store and you can get started in 2 minutes for free.
The returns vary based on your personal discretion. You determine how much you want to earn on each transaction.
This is dependent on your risk appetite. We recommend you check the historical performance of the borrower, as well as the Borrower’s Lendly Score to understand the available opportunity.
There are Lending opportunities as low as ₦5,000.
Repayments are automatically sent to your Wallet. We will notify you via email immediately, so you can decide to withdraw to your registered bank account or lend to a new borrower.
The Borrower’s request determines the tenor. It can range from 10 days to 60 days.
You currently cannot liquidate an investment till its maturity date.
No, Peer Lendly does not guarantee repayment for loan requests fulfilled on its platform. We ensure all requests on our platform have very minimal risk and we drive repayments through a direct debit from the borrower’s bank accounts and we have partnered with collections and recovery agents to minimise any defaults. If you are using the platform as a Lender, please be aware of risks that could lead to you losing some or all of the loan amount
Any investment is a risk, the interest rate paid to the Lenders is the compensation for the risk they are taking. Please consider carefully how much risk you can tolerate before fulfilling any Borrower’s request.
To mitigate late or delinquent payments, we take the following measures:
Like many other investments, we understand that there is an element of risk involved with lending money to someone which is why we provide the Borrower's Lendly Score and supporting information to help Lenders make an informed decision based on their comfort level.

Every Lender gets an electronically concluded Assignment Agreement once the money is given to the Borrower. You can find the Assignment Agreement in your email.

Individuals can borrow from as low as N10,000 to as much as N1 million. Your Lendly Score will determine the amount of money you can request off the platform.
