Who it's for

Solo or 2-person team in Nigeria with product/backend chops; sells to Nigerian fintech platforms, lenders, and their users

How to build it

1. Partner with 1–2 Nigerian microfinance or credit bureaus (CRB) to access baseline credit data and user consent flows 2. Build a clean dashboard showing a user's loan history, payment patterns, and a simple risk score (don't call it a 'score'—call it a 'profile strength' to stay compliant) 3. Wire integrations to 3–5 Nigerian lenders (microfinance, BNPL platforms, salary-advance apps) who will pay per qualified lead or per user matched 4. Launch a simple web app; let users sign up with BVN, view their profile, opt into lender offers 5. Monetize via affiliate commissions or per-lead payments from lenders when a user clicks through or applies

Suggested stack

Next.js or Django (backend API)PostgreSQL (user & credit data)BVN verification API (Smile ID or Youverify)Stripe or Flutterwave (for future subscription tier if you add premium insights)Vercel or Railway (hosting)Segment or Mixpanel (basic analytics to track lender conversions)

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

You are local: you understand Nigerian lender requirements, CBN compliance arcs, and can negotiate data-sharing deals faster than foreign competitors. Lenders already pay for leads—you just need 2–3 partners to hit profitability. Data residency and BVN familiarity is a moat.
