In a world where financial stability and empowerment are paramount, Sycamore, a peer-to-peer lending and borrowing FinTech has emerged to transform the SME financing landscape in Nigeria. Sycamore, a visionary platform that goes beyond traditional financial services, is revolutionising the way Nigerians access funds and manage their financial lives. With a diverse range of offerings, including lending and borrowing solutions, bill payment services, PayForMe, and even a unique feature called Loan Friends where you can lend and borrow amongst friends and families without issues and eradicating bad debts, Sycamore is redefining the meaning of financial freedom and inclusion.

Whether it’s fulfilling immediate financial obligations, making essential bill payments, or supporting friends through the Loan Friends feature, Sycamore ensures that its customers are equipped with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of the modern financial landscape.
“We’ve always been paranoid about giving our customers unique experiences. We didn’t want to just push out another “loan app” into the market without offering any additional value to them,” said Mayowa Adeosun, Sycamore’s COO. “Being the customer-centric business that we are, we engaged our customers on their needs. We are proud that our app does face everyday — the management of loans given to — or received from — friends and family almost everyday.”
One of many significant milestone that highlights Sycamore’s dedication to excellence is its recent achievement as the first fintech in Nigeria to obtain approval from the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). This recognition solidifies Sycamore’s position as a trusted and reliable financial partner, ensuring that its users can transact with confidence, knowing that their interests are protected. Another is being awarded ‘SME Enabler of the Year’ in 2023 by Business Day. This speaks to SycamoreNG’s unwavering commitment to the growth of all MSMEs in Nigeria.
