The new list of fully approved digital lenders includes Renmoney Lending Company Limited, White Horse Success Nigeria Limited, Fox Lending Limited, Parkcrowdy Nigeria Limited, Nature Lending Nigeria Limited, Competence Asset Management Limited, Salad Technologies Limited, Leeburg Technology Limited, Summit Finance Limited, Lendwise App, among others.
