to put devices in members' hands

Two ways to put earning hardwarein your members' hands.

Distribute on consignment and take 10% of what members earn in the app. Or finance devices to members and let the device's own earnings service the loan. Both routes start at ₦0.

The fork

Two routes. Pick the one that
matches how you already lend.

These are different products with different paperwork. Most institutions know which one they want within a minute of reading both.

Route A — you distribute

  • Devices sit with you on consignment, at zero cost to you
  • You settle only on units actually placed with members
  • You take 10% of what every member registered to you earns in the app, monthly
  • The recurring share outgrows the one-off margin — roughly 4× in year one across 3,500 units
  • Closest to how we work with our trade partners today

Route B — you finance

  • Devices are financed to the member as an income-generating asset
  • The device earns daily through app engagement
  • Those earnings service the member's repayment rather than competing with it
  • The asset produces the cash flow that repays it — that is the whole point
  • Suited to agent networks and asset-finance books

If you are not sure, say so on the form and we will walk both structures with you. Choosing on the form does not commit you — it only tells us which outline to prepare.

The charge ledger

The balance starts at zero
and settles itself.

Deployed · ₦0 at placementCost retired by engagement

Deployment cost is retired by daily engagement, not by an invoice. Month 4 is the baseline, not a promise — it assumes sustained daily use across the cohort, and we will show you the sensitivity before you sign anything. If engagement runs lower, retirement takes longer. On Route B in particular, that sensitivity is the number your credit committee will want, and we would rather put it in front of you early.

The mechanism

What zero down actually means here

Nothing is bought upfront, either route

Route A places consignment stock with you. Route B finances the device to the member. Neither starts with you buying inventory.

The device is an earning asset, not a cost

Daily app use earns rewards redeemable for airtime and data. That earning stream is what makes both routes work.

Route A — you take 10%, monthly

Ten per cent of what every member registered to you earns, every month, for as long as they stay active.

Route B — earnings service the loan

The device generates cash flow that goes against the member's repayment. The asset pays for itself rather than competing with the member's income.

Written for microfinance banks, cooperatives, agent networks and asset-finance books

This is not for everyone.

Read both columns before you apply. The second one saves us both a call.

This fits if

  • You have an active member base, agent network or branch footprint
  • You can onboard members rather than only disburse to them
  • You want an asset that produces cash flow, not one that only depreciates
  • You can report placements or repayments monthly

This does not fit if

  • You want to buy hardware outright at wholesale
  • You cannot support member onboarding or activation
  • You need guaranteed earnings per member rather than a modelled baseline
  • Your book cannot accommodate a non-cash asset structure
Sequence

Why this asset behaves differently

  1. The member receives a device

    A solar backpack, powerbank and lamp. Useful from the day it is placed, which is what drives activation.

  2. The app earns for them daily

    Daily use earns rewards redeemable for airtime and data.

  3. Those earnings go to work

    On Route A you take 10% of them. On Route B they service the member's repayment.

  4. Activation is tracked per member

    You see who activated and who is still active — the same signal that predicts repayment behaviour.

  5. The book compounds rather than resets

    Every member placed adds to a monthly figure that does not go back to zero at the end of a cycle.

What is included

Everything you get,
against what we ask.

What we ask is ₦0 at deployment. Here is what sits on the other side of that.

10% of member earnings, every month

Route A. The recurring half of the deal, and the larger half. It compounds with every member you place.

Route A

Earnings applied against member repayment

Route B. The device produces the cash flow that services its own finance.

Route B

Devices at zero cost at placement

Consignment on Route A, financed to the member on Route B. Neither requires you to buy stock.

₦0

Per-member activation reporting

Who activated, who stayed active. On Route B this is also your earliest repayment signal.

Monthly

Onboarding support for your members

Activation is the model. We run onboarding with you rather than shipping boxes.

Included

Listing in the rewards app

Your branches and agents shown to nearby users looking to redeem.

Questions

What you are probably thinking.

Can we run both routes at once?

Yes, and several institutions will want to — Route A through branches, Route B through an agent network. We would still write them as two agreements, because the obligations are genuinely different.

On Route B, what happens if the device under-earns?

Repayment takes longer, and the modelled baseline is exactly the thing we put in front of you before you commit. We will not hand your credit committee a single optimistic number. You get the sensitivity, including the downside case.

How exactly is the 10% calculated on Route A?

Ten per cent of what each member registered to you earns in the app that month. Paid monthly, tracked on a dashboard you can see. If a member stops using the app, that share stops.

Is the earning stream guaranteed?

No, and we will not present it as one. It is driven by daily engagement, which varies by cohort. Month 4 retirement is a modelled baseline that assumes sustained use, not a promise. That is why activation reporting matters as much as the hardware.

Who owns the devices?

On Route A, we do, until they are placed. On Route B, ownership terms follow your own asset-finance structure and we set them in the outline before anything is signed.

Why would we do this rather than lend cash?

Because a cash loan competes with the member's income and this asset adds to it. The device earns daily whether or not the member has a good trading week, which is a different risk profile from unsecured lending.
