After issuing updates on loan apps in Nigeria, Google will delist the unregistered apps from its play store, asking them to provide approval certification from FCCPC or face removal.
Google had slated January 31, 2023, as the deadline for the apps’ removal before moving it to March 27.
FCCPC clarifies the reason for the approval
According to FCCPC, it drew up the Limited Interim Regulatory/Registration Framework and Guidelines for Digital Lending of 2022 in partnership with the Joint Task Force (JTF) to promote transparency, fairness, and beneficial alternatives to lending opportunities in Nigeria.
The activities of loan apps in Nigeria necessitated FCCPC’s recent action following a proliferation of illegal loan apps in Nigeria, with consumers reporting rights violations and sharp practices, among others.
Findings have shown that interest rates charged by loan apps violate lending ethics. They also involve in the public humiliation of defaulters and engage in privacy violations.
