Nigerians Call Out AidaCredit for Spamming Unwanted Loan Offers

Nigerians Call Out AidaCredit for Spamming Unwanted Loan Offers — 1 of 3
1 / 3

Many Nigerians have begun reporting unsolicited text messages from AidaCredit, a loan app run by Ishiagu Microfinance Bank. Recipients receive promises of ready cash and a link that redirects to a web page not listed on the App Store. A Lagos resident told FIJ he never signed up for the service and only uses an iPhone, yet he’s been receiving messages since April. When he followed the link, it became clear AidaCredit isn’t available for download and may be harvesting personal data. This complaint adds to growing frustration with digital lenders like EaseMoni and OKash, which have also been accused of bombarding Nigerians with calls and texts despite no prior registration.

Has anyone else received unsolicited loan texts from AidaCredit, or are we just hearing about Lagos cases so far?

Are these spam texts limited to Lagos or are people elsewhere seeing them too?

It's odd that AidaCredit isn't on any app store but still sends unsolicited messages. E no clear where they got our numbers or data.

I'm not convinced AidaCredit is to blame when so many other loan apps also blast customers with mass text marketing.

Delete AidaCredit texts without tapping links, block that number, and report unsolicited messages to a consumer protection agency.
