Lendsqr has shipped new admin tools, including copying users and roles on notification events, editable SMS templates, and new repayment permissions.
Lendsqr has published a June 2026 product update with new notification controls, SMS customization, and tighter permissions for loan repayment workflows.
In a newsletter published on June 8, 2026, Lendsqr announced several updates aimed at lenders and lending ops teams.
One change lets teams copy specific admin users and roles on notification events. In plain terms, when something happens in the system, like a loan application state change or a repayment update, you can automatically include certain internal staff or permission groups in the alert. Roles are permission bundles, similar to job-based access like “Collections” or “Customer Support.”
Lendsqr also added customizable SMS notification content. That means lenders can edit the text template borrowers receive, instead of using a fixed message. SMS remains a common customer communication channel in African lending, especially where app push notifications are less reliable.
On permissions, Lendsqr introduced a new access control for recording external loan repayments. External repayments are payments recorded from outside the core platform, for example cash collections, bank transfers confirmed later, or repayments posted from another system. A dedicated permission helps reduce errors and limits who can post or adjust those entries.
Beyond new features, the update includes a faster admin console experience, improved search across the console, and a refreshed look for the web app. Lendsqr also teased a new disbursement transaction service, meaning a dedicated system component for sending out loan funds and tracking those payouts.
For digital lenders, notifications and permissions often break first as teams grow. Copying admin roles on key events can shorten response times for underwriting, collections, and support.
Custom SMS templates help lenders keep messages clear and compliant, and can reduce confusion that leads to missed repayments. More granular permissions for external repayment recording can also improve audit trails, which matters for governance and regulator reviews.
The performance and UI changes point to Lendsqr investing in operator experience, not just borrower-facing flows. That can be a differentiator for lenders managing high volumes across multiple products and teams.
