Problem
Many Nigerian tertiary students struggle to afford tuition fees, facing high costs, limited access to low‑interest loans, and unreliable crowdfunding options, which leads to high dropout rates and delayed graduation.
Solution
PressPayNg offers a co‑funded tuition model that provides up to 50 % of a student’s tuition as a low‑interest loan while the remaining 50 % is saved through a flexible, app‑based savings plan. The platform handles loan application, KYC verification, and direct payment to the school, eliminating the need for collateral or manual fee transfers. Users can earn referral rewards, access scholarship pop‑ups, and receive education‑related services such as soft‑skill training, holiday jobs, insurance, and health maintenance. Credit‑score‑based renewal allows students to repeat the co‑funding each academic year, creating a sustainable financing cycle that reduces overall education costs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Nigerian tertiary students and their parents seeking affordable tuition financing, as well as educational institutions that benefit from streamlined fee collection.
