The company
Instalment solutions is an African financial engineering company. Our mission is to expand the financial possibilities for everyday Africans. We make this happen through innovatively designed credit, risk and wealth development products that actually make sense for Africans. Financial products are the personal infrastructure of the modern world, and for far too long the options available to others across the world have been non-existent to us as Africans, and when available, they are often predatory, unaffordable and unworkable. We are determined to change this status quo.
Our first product is monthly.ng, a rental finance product that allows anyone to rent any property, anywhere in Lagos and pay monthly. No collateral, no guarantors, no harassment. Yet still super affordable. It embodies what we are all about; innovation, convenience and helping people live better faster.
