First City Monument Bank (FCMB) is offering Nigerian students an opportunity to get an instant loan of up to N200,000 without any collateral or paperwork required.
The student loan can be used to pay school fees and meet other emergency financial needs. The bank reported that over 2.7 million loans have been disbursed via the FastCash platform since it was launched in 2018.
Note that, FCMB is a regulated financial institution, meaning that they can always deduct their money from any bank account associated with the BVN used to take the loan. This is a short term loan that should only be used for emergencies, it should not be used to fund one’s lifestyle.
