Paid Internship: Landsqr

Job Description

The one thing we think about non-stop at Lendsqr is how we can get every African an access to loans just when they need it. The incredible stories we hear about those who live in developed countries are anchored on ordinary citizens having access to loans to go to school, get their first homes, cards, and even smartphones. In Nigeria and Africa, most dreams are never realized because we don’t have access to loans or credit to give us that leg up.

Lendsqr is changing that story. For good!

Over the last few years, Lendsqr has been revolutionizing how everyone can get loans easily by helping lenders with the technology, data, and services they need to launch their digital lending at scale.

Top digital lenders like Kredi Bank, Urgent10k, Irorun, and even Sterling Bank now depend on Lendsqr to power their lending systems. But we cannot do all these without committed and incredibly smart people who share the same passion and vision for Africa. 

We need you. Join us!
