Rates & fees

Every rate. Every fee. In full.

No small print, no processing-fee surprises, no "insurance" disguised as margin. Rates drop as your tier climbs. Repayment is spread across equal monthly installments — not one brutal debit. If it's a number that affects you, it's on this page.

Equal monthly installments — same amount debited each month when your allawee lands. You always keep at least ₦53,000 from each ₦77K allawee. Interest is per month of tenor (simple interest: P × R × T). No late fees. No early-repayment penalty. No compounding. Advance must terminate 2 months before your POP date.

The bottom line

What it actually costs you.

Our pricing philosophy.

The allawee is government-guaranteed. That means we can charge less than every other lender — because our recovery risk is lower. At Trusted tier, borrowing ₦100K costs you ₦1,100 per month. Compare that to Carbon (₦15K+ per month on the same amount) or FairMoney (₦12K+). The difference is structural: your income is predictable, so your rate is lower.

We make money on the flat ₦2,000 service fee, bill payment commissions, and yield spread on savings. The interest goes to our MFB partner who provides the advance capital. Alawee is a platform, not a loan shark.

All rates and fees are indicative and final once accepted in-app. Rates may change with 30 days notice. Pricing last updated: May 2026.
