How applications are selected

Accion Microfinance Bank will review your application, financial documents and KYC verification. The bank assesses your business operation history, financial health and repayment capacity. You will typically receive a decision within a few working days; the exact timeline is not published, but approval depends on meeting the 12-month trading requirement and submitting complete documentation.

What reviewers look for

  • Your business must have clear financial records from at least the past 12 months of operation
  • Accion focuses on technology, agriculture and services sectors, so ensure your business fits these categories
  • Complete and accurate KYC information in the AccionMonie app is critical—incomplete verification will delay your application
  • The loan is for working capital and asset finance, so be clear in your application about how you will use the funds
  • Registered businesses with valid CAC documentation are prioritised over informal operations

Frequently asked questions

How long does approval take?

The sources do not state a specific timeline. You should expect a decision within a few working days if your documentation is complete and you meet all eligibility criteria, but contact Accion directly for an exact estimate.

What if my business is less than 12 months old?

You will not qualify for My SME Capital Loan. Accion requires a minimum of 12 months of operation. You may be eligible for other Accion products such as MyOwn Loan (₦50,000–₦499,999) if your business is newer.

Do I need collateral?

The product is described as asset finance, which typically means collateral is involved, but the sources do not explicitly state collateral requirements. Contact Accion to clarify what security they will require for your loan amount.

What is the maximum I can borrow?

You can borrow from ₦2 million up to Accion's approved SME limits. The maximum depends on your business financials and credit assessment—there is no fixed ceiling stated.

Is there a deadline to apply?

No deadline is published. This is a rolling programme, so you can apply at any time, provided your business meets the eligibility requirements.
