Cars play a pivotal role in the daily lives and work of Nigerians. However, economic challenges in recent times have made affordability a key consideration for those looking to purchase vehicles.

Factors like access to foreign exchange, inflation, subsidy removal, and more have affected the overall cost of owning and maintaining cars in Nigeria.

To address these challenges, more Nigerians are exploring efficient ways to manage their vehicle needs, and financing has emerged as a viable solution to make car ownership more attainable and cost-effective.

The Current State of Car Financing in Nigeria

Car financing in Nigeria has historically presented a challenge for both businesses and individuals. The high cost of vehicles, coupled with economic uncertainties, has made car ownership a distant dream for many.

Nigeria’s auto market is characterized by a significant reliance on cash purchases, with only a small percentage of cars being financed through traditional methods.

One of the primary obstacles to car financing in Nigeria has been the limited availability of affordable and accessible financing options. Traditional banks have often imposed stringent requirements, making it difficult for the average Nigerian to secure financing for their desired vehicles.

This has left many potential car buyers with few alternatives, forcing them to either postpone their purchase or settle for less expensive and often less reliable vehicles.

Furthermore, the lack of a well-structured credit system has hindered the development of a robust car financing industry. The absence of credit history and credit scoring mechanisms has made it challenging for financial institutions to assess the creditworthiness of potential borrowers accurately.

As a result, interest rates on car loans have typically been high, further deterring many Nigerians from seeking financing for their cars. These challenges have contributed to a car financing landscape in Nigeria that is ripe for innovation and transformation.

A New Dawn Beckons

At a joint press conference in Lagos, Gbenga Omolokun, the Managing Director of V Bank, emphasized the bank’s commitment to helping customers achieve their aspirations and wealth creation goals.

V Bank aims to become the premier provider of microfinance solutions for businesses and individuals in Nigeria. Through this partnership, businesses and individuals can access V Bank’s leading financing options when seeking to finance their desired vehicles.

This process involves finding the desired vehicle on Autochek’s online marketplace or through the extensive dealer network, applying for financing, and selecting the V Bank option upon approval.

With a 30 percent equity contribution to the car’s value and affordable monthly payments, customers can also access insurance, registration, maintenance, and other value-added services through accredited Autochek partners.

What the Partners are Bringing to the Table

  • Mayokun Fadeyibi, the COO at Autochek Marketplace, highlighted Autochek’s infrastructure built to promote auto financing across Africa.
  • It leverages a data analytics engine to streamline credit offers for automotive purchases.
  • Customers can receive instant financing offers once they meet the necessary criteria.
  • With operations spanning nine countries in East, South, West, and North Africa, a network of over 70 banking partners, and a footprint of more than 2,000 dealers and workshops, Autochek possesses invaluable insights into vehicle-related transactions.
  • This positions them to develop effective solutions for Africa’s automotive ecosystem.

Looking Ahead

In conclusion, this partnership between VFD Microfinance Bank and Autochek promises to reshape the car financing landscape in Nigeria. Should it work out and gets the necessary support to succeed, it will up the space to the car industry.

With a shared commitment to making car ownership more accessible and affordable, this collaboration is set to stimulate economic growth, drive progress, and benefit various stakeholders.

The partnership in the future will open up more opportunities in the industry, including to dealers, workshops, SMEs, and most importantly, the consumers they serve.
