Does Opay Give Loans?

OPay itself does not offer loan services to individual consumers. The company has always denied offering personal loans through its app. However, there are two scenarios where loans might be involved with OPay:

1. OPay Merchant Loans:

OPay partners with licensed Microfinance Banks (MFBs) such as Blue Ridge Microfinance Bank to provide loans to businesses registered on the OPay platform. These loans are for business needs, not personal finances. Click to learn more.

2. Partner Loan Applications:

Opay partner, Blue Ridge Microfinance Bank Limited, operates two loan apps. These apps are Okash and Easemoni. As a partner, Opay lists these apps on its platform to provide more exposure but these apps are not owned or operated by Opay. OPay is not responsible for the terms, interest rates, or approval process of these loans.

Here’s a quick table summarizing the key points:

Scenario	Loan Availability	Notes
Individual Consumer Loans	No	OPay does not offer personal loans.
Registered Business Loans	Yes	Partner with MFBs like Blue Ridge for merchant loans.
Third-Party Loan Applications	Possible	Redirect to other lenders’ platforms, not managed by OPay.
