Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team; sells to fintechs, microfinance lenders, or payment platforms in Nigeria/Africa

How to build it

1. Partner with 1–2 Nigerian lenders (microfinance, BNPL, or digital banks) to get their real underwriting rules and data feeds 2. Build a simple web form that collects income, employment, credit history signals (BVN lookup via Paystack/Mono), and borrowing intent 3. Create a scoring engine that mimics each lender's eligibility rules, returning instant yes/no/maybe with reason 4. Embed the widget on partner lender websites or offer it as a white-label dashboard they can rebrand 5. Track conversions: measure qualified leads that convert to actual loan applications, use this to negotiate revenue share or API fees

Suggested stack

Next.js or Django for backendPostgreSQL for eligibility rules + user dataPaystack or Mono API for KYC/BVN verificationSimple React frontend for form UIStripe or Flutterwave for payment collection (if you monetize per check or lead)

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian lenders have fragmented, opaque underwriting—no shared tooling. You become the trusted middleman. You have direct access to local lender relationships, payment rails (Paystack, Mono), and KYC data (BVN) that foreign competitors lack. Volume and unit economics work because you're reducing lender CAC and improving conversion on their pipeline.
