Salary Advance

It is an instant digital loan product, under the PayDay Loan scheme, which is targeted at Access Bank customers who receive their salary in their Access Bank account, and meet the Bank’s risk acceptance criteria (RAC).

You can request for a Salary Advance Loan through any of the following ways:

• Dial the USSD code *901*11#
• QuickBucks
  • Download the QuickBucks app, available on the Google Playstore or iOS App Store
  • Or click here to visit the QuickBucks website

Yes, your salary account needs to be in Access Bank and needs to be active for at least six (6) months before you can access a Salary Advance loan.

The interest rate for Salary Advance is 7% Monthly. Other charges include a 1% management fee, and 1% credit life insurance, which are taken upfront.

Six (6) months/180 days.

The maximum amount (i.e. eligible amount) you can get is 200% of your monthly salary, less any active loans at the Bank; subject to a maximum of ₦5,000,000. Your eligibility is displayed when you request for the loan.

To qualify for Salary Advance, you must earn a minimum ₦30,000.

Your eligibility will be affected by any of the following:

• If you have any outstanding loan(s) in Access Bank or other banks.
• If you apply using a phone number that is not linked to your BVN.
• If there is no evidence that you received salary payment in the previous month.
• If you have taken previous digital loan and exceeded your eligible amount.
• If you have an existing loan and the monthly repayment is higher than your eligible amount.

Where you have existing loans, the equated monthly instalment (EMI)/ monthly repayment(s) will be used in calculating your eligible amount. Your eligibility amount will therefore be 200% of your monthly salary, less any EMI. If the monthly repayment is higher than your eligible amount, you will not be able to take a Salary Advance loan.

Once your loan request is successful, your Access Bank account is credited instantly. However, in some rare cases, it may take up to 24 hours to process before disbursement into your account. In such an event, we will notify you of any delays.

As many times as you may like, if you have not exceeded your eligible amount.

Your Salary Advance loan will be due for repayment every month for a cycle of six (6) months tenor, from the date the loan was disbursed into your account (anniversary date), and the repayment amount will be automatically deducted from your account.
