We have both a finance company and a microfinance bank that are licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Our registration number is RC 1642222.
We have an office at 642C Adeyemo Alakija Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
We provide a better ecosystem of services, including outstanding customer support, the best pricing on banking transactions, the highest savings interest rates, and attractive credit rates.
To open a Carbon account, you must be at least 18 years old, have a valid mobile number, a functioning email address, a valid ID, and BVN.
We need this to confirm you are the one registering on Carbon and not someone else. That's why you need to register with your correct name, date of birth, and phone number as you have it on your BVN.
The CBN has fully licensed Carbon as a microfinance bank, and we can confirm with authority that it complies with all capitalization and ratio requirements. We can assure you and all our customers that we do not just have the CBN license, we are also covered by NDIC. Our customers' deposits are insured and covered.
