## About the product

AkawoPay is a **buy now, pay later (BNPL)** service for Nigerians who need to buy daily essentials or business supplies now and repay in instalments over time.

Key capabilities include:
- **Credit for purchases (₦5,000 to ₦50,000)**, designed for everyday needs and work-related expenses such as restocking goods, transport-related costs, or school and household items
- **Fast onboarding and approval**, with sign-up advertised as taking **under 3 minutes** (phone number and bank account details) and approval in **about 30 seconds** using **NIN**
- **Zero-interest instalment plans**, with a **clear repayment plan** so users can “pay little by little”
- **Growing credit limits**, where credit can increase as users repay on time; the service also states it avoids **embarrassing calls or threats** during collections

Available on **Web** via a web app.

It targets **Nigerian market traders, shop owners, gig workers, students, domestic workers, and small business owners**, especially people with **uneven or irregular income** who want an alternative to traditional loan apps and informal borrowing.

AkawoPay is notable in Nigeria’s consumer credit landscape for positioning BNPL around **daily essentials** and informal-economy use cases, while clearly stating it is **not a loan app** and supporting this with defined instalment repayment plans and published legal policies (Terms, Privacy, Cookie).
