Know what you qualify for. Before you ever apply.

Most financing makes you apply first and find out later. AltSupa flips that. See your personal credit line of up to ₦20 million, then use it across cars, phones, rent, solar, travel and business. No paperwork. No queues. No guessing.

Free to check. Checking your credit line costs nothing and doesn't commit you to anything.

What is AltSupa?

One credit line. Everything you're planning for.

AltSupa is The Alternative Bank's unified financing platform. Instead of separate applications for a car, a phone, rent or business capital, you get one personal credit line, assessed upfront from your BVN, income and credit history, and you decide how to use it.

The old way

Apply. Submit documents. Wait. Hope.

  • Fill long forms before you know if you even qualify
  • Separate applications for every single product
  • Paperwork, branch visits and weeks of waiting
  • Find out you were declined after all that stress
The AltSupa way

See your credit line first. Then decide.

  • Your eligibility is assessed upfront, before you commit to anything
  • One credit line works across 8+ products, even at the same time
  • Fully digital and largely paperless, from check to disbursement
  • Funds go straight to the vendor or your account, often same day
How it works

From "I wonder if I qualify" to funded in four steps

The whole journey is digital. Most people see their credit line within minutes.

1

Tell us who you are

Sign up on AltSupa with your BVN and NIN. That's the identity part done. No forms, no photocopies.

2

Connect your statement

Use your AltBank account, link any Nigerian bank securely via Mono, or simply upload a PDF statement covering the last 6 months.

3

See your credit line

AltSupa analyses your income, credit score and obligations, then shows you a personalised credit line and every product you're eligible for.

4

Pick a product, get funded

Choose what you need, sign a digital offer letter, and funds are disbursed to the vendor, provider or your account. Some products pay out same day.

What you can do with it

Built on trust

Your money and your data, handled properly

AltSupa is a platform of The Alternative Bank, built to banking-grade standards, not another loan app on the timeline.

A licensed bank behind it

AltSupa is operated by The Alternative Bank, a licensed non-interest Nigerian bank, with CBN-compliant processes including the standard GSI repayment framework.

Bank-grade security

End-to-end encryption in transit and at rest, multi-factor authentication and regular security audits. Your data is used for your assessment and never sold.

Regulated connections only

Bank linking runs through Mono, a CBN-regulated open-banking platform. It never sees or stores your banking password, and you can disconnect after your check.

No hidden charges

₦0 to check your line, browse products, or walk away. One 2% application fee, charged only when a facility is successfully disbursed, never before.

Ethical, non-interest financing

Products like AltDrive and AltPower pass a Shariah compliance review. Financing designed around fairness, not compounding interest.

Think you qualify? You probably do. Here's the checklist:

  • 18 or older, with a valid BVN and NIN
  • Steady income from salary or business, as long as it's verifiable
  • A fair credit record. A good score helps, but it's not the only factor
  • Manageable debt, with total obligations under 33.3% of your income
Questions, answered

The things people actually ask us

What exactly is AltSupa?+
AltSupa is The Alternative Bank's unified financing platform. It pre-profiles you and shows you exactly what you qualify for before you apply. You get a single credit line you can use across the full range of retail financing products: vehicles, devices, rent, solar, travel, shopping, salary advance and business advance, all in one place on the AltSupa app or website.
Do I need to be an AltBank customer to use it?+
No. Anyone can check their credit profile on AltSupa by connecting any Nigerian bank account through Mono or uploading a PDF statement. You'll only need to open an Alternative Bank account (quick and fully digital) to handle repayments when you actually take a facility.
How is my credit line determined?+
AltSupa automatically analyses four things: your income level (from your bank statement or salary records), your credit score (via a credit bureau search using your BVN), your existing debt obligations, and your account history and inflow patterns. Your personalised line, between ₦5,000 and ₦20 million, is displayed before you make any application. It's dynamic, too: consistent repayments can grow it over time.
Is there any fee?+
Checking your credit line and browsing products is completely free. A one-time 2% application fee applies only when a facility is successfully disbursed, and it is deducted at the point of disbursal. You're never charged for an application that doesn't go through.
Can I use my credit line on more than one product at once?+
Yes. You could have an active AltMobile facility and an AltDrive facility at the same time, as long as your combined repayments stay within 33.3% of your income. One line, spread however works for you.
How long does approval take?+
Salary Advance: funds within 8 working hours of approval. AltMobile and Wakeel Business Advance: typically the same working day. AltDrive, AltPower, AltRent, AltMall and AltTravel: 24–48 working hours (some include a Shariah compliance review). Timelines depend on the completeness of your information.
Who can use Salary Advance?+
Salary Advance is exclusive to staff of The Alternative Bank and customers with a Current Individual Salary account domiciled with AltBank for at least 3 months. If your salary isn't with AltBank yet, you can open a salary account digitally (via the app, website or any branch) and qualify after 3 months of consistent salary inflow.
How do repayments work?+
Repayments run by direct debit on your AltBank account: monthly, weekly or daily depending on the product and the schedule you agree to. Everything is confirmed in your offer letter before you sign. A CBN-mandated GSI (Global Standing Instruction) backs the facility, which is standard for all lending in Nigeria.
Is my financial data safe? What is Mono?+
Yes. AltSupa uses end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication and regular security audits, in line with CBN data-protection requirements. Mono is a CBN-regulated open-banking platform used by many leading Nigerian fintechs. It connects your account through a secure, tokenised link and never stores your banking password. You can disconnect any linked account once your credit check is done; your approved line stays active.
What if my application is declined or my line is lower than I expected?+
You'll be told why. Common reasons are a low credit score, debt above the 33.3% threshold, or income that couldn't be verified. You can reapply once that's addressed, provide additional statements, or connect an account with a stronger transaction history. If you think there's been an error, support can review your assessment manually: [email protected] or 0201 888 9090.
