Background Synopsis

According to the UN classification, Nigeria is a middle income, mixed economy and emerging
market, with expanding financial, service, communications, technology and entertainment
sectors.
A recent assessment by the World Bank as reported on the 31st October 2014 on the situation
of poverty in the world, where it ranked Nigeria third among worlds ten countries with
extreme poor citizens. From the assessment, the World Bank established that Nigeria with
about 170 million population falls among countries with extreme poverty whose over 70%
population live on $1.25 (N200) or even less per day. Specifically, the report revealed that 7%
of the 1.2 billion people living below poverty line in the world are Nigerians [reference].
With this retrospection, we are looking at providing accessible funding for daily living for these
70% within the Nigerian Economy. The introduction of soft loan service would cater for
releasing between N1000 - N5000 to eligible bankable customers, which would take care of
their daily living for 25days asserting from the World Bank report on cost of living for the 70%
of our populace.
This need has ushered in the existence of micro-loans which most financial institutions would
not want to delve into for reasons best known to them.

BorrowMeMoni
BorrowMeMoni is a swift service that allows eligible GTB customers access a soft loan (borrow
money in less than 5mins) from the bank without walking into the banking hall to fill out forms,
provide a guarantor/shortee or assign collateral. It is a convenient way to deal with unexpected
minor spending and bill payments when your account balance is too low (N0-N999) to have
ordinarily gone to the ATM to withdraw money.
The soft-loan received by the customer can be used for anything and has no underlying motives
hindering the customer from withdrawing from any Bank's ATM at any location throughout
Nigeria.
It just saves you the embarrassment of asking and being turned down.
Our dear customer is expected to pay back (Automatically deducted) when moneys are paid
into his/her account within a specified period.
