  32. Dear Admin,
    I am waiting for you so long! Please, review my application and forward the application to the CBN for final approval, did you accept what I am saying?

    • Dear Sanusi, please we don’t review applications here. We are only here to guide you on how to apply for the loan

      • Please I need assistance am trying to apply for new portal of covid 19 loan but is telling me that I have a none performing loan my application can’t continue

  34. Please for House hold loan … what sort of documents are required for evidence of Covid 19?

    • I am one of those that have applied for the loan in which
      some of my members have received theirs but it was Nirsal that sent message to me that my loan has been approved for disbursement but due to error In bvn they can’t give me the loan so I was directed by them to swear ino an affidavit and go to my bank to collect a correct account number with bvn and submit to the nearest branch I which I did but since then I did not see anything for close to 3 months now

    • Each time I input my bvn to validate my bvn, it shows me a wrong name which is not my name. I complained to nirsal bank branch at lokoja kogi state and it is still showing the wrong name and with that I cant accept my offer. Please what should I do???

  36. I have successfully applied for the NIRSAL COVID-19 LOAN, the message was your application was successfully validated and created. what else should I do to get the loan? because I am yet to get a message requesting for my account number.

  38. I can’t validate my loan application using the link sent to my e-mail, it is showing me BVN does not exist. I need your help

    • BVN is meant to verify your identity, so it won’t be possible for someone to use yours and get approval

  41. Have gotten an approved message since March 16 2021. And I was told to send my account number which i did, but nothing yet..

  42. To register successful you have to click on either click on Commercial Loan or Covid -19 TCF. A pop reference code will appear on your screen and you have to copy and paste it where you would like to save on your PC or better still you can save it on your mobile phone. Then, you continue the application until you reach the last stage then click on submit. If its complaining about your BVN that it’s incorrect that means you have to check your full name very well especially your surname because it won’t recognise a name with a space like “Ibn Salam” should be written this way ” Ibnsalam”. If the page is showing error or couldn’t complete your application you need to check your internet connection or use google chrome. Important Notice- Please make sure that you selected the one that you know that you will be granted the loan otherwise they will just review your application and disqualify you.

  43. Hello Admin, I have already apply CBN COVID – 19 Loan successfully and save the application reference number without any problem during registration. many applicants forgot to save their application reference number, so when the approval and disbursement will be? and what is the important of application reference to those who are successful approval for disbursement?

    • Congrats on your successful application, of course ‘reference number’ should be for reference as the name sounds

    • You should find that information on the article above. Meanwhile I guess the question should be better directed to NIRSAL MFB offering the loan

  50. I applied for sms but whenever I checked my status I will be required to make a certificate. When I proceed with either install or cancel returns to first page. Please, help me

  51. Hello Admin, this is very good effort by feferal government of Nigeria through central bank to given out COVID – 19 loan to Nigerians! we are all happy and appreciate about that, but let me know how many nigeians will be benefited with this loan in numbers figure according to your statistics? and therefore do you have any plan now or in the future to organise a similar COVID – 19 loan to we Nigerians?

    • I applied since last yr April till now no approved and I also did survive fund till now no money why .pls God open my case in CBN today I need this money in Jesus name Amen

      • Michelle, funny you, let’s hope God answers your prayer. Just exercise some patience if you filled in your application correctly

  81. There is itch getting to page 2 of 6 on the application. Could it be network or portal issues? I really need this loan to start my business back.

  84. I was told I wasn’t eligible because I have an outstanding loan with a microfinance bank that would elapse in two months time. I’ve been making my payments every month without default all along.

    Is that enough yardstick to say I’m not eligible? Moreover, like I said earlier, I’ve never defaulted all along.
